I am here to accompany you when a life limiting/life changing diagnosis is given. Also, I am here to accompany you through life transitions. I hold space as you work towards integrating your life changes into your journey forward.
As a gay man, I have worked with LGBTQ+ people offering death and grief work. Being gay, I understand the uniqueness of grief that can be part of LGBTQ+ grief: Disenfranchised grief, unrecognized grief, isolation, and ambiguous loss and grief.
As a funeral celebrant, I work individually and/or with your family to help create a funeral service that is unique and personalized. Through ceremony and ritual, we can celebrate, honor, and remember your beloved who have died. Ceremony and ritual can
help begin your grief journey towards integrating your memories and your grief into who we are going forward.
Funeral Celebrant
When a pet goes missing or when a pet dies either by accident or when we as their guardians make the difficult decision to have life ending drugs administered (MAID), it often is excruciating. I am here to accompany you in your grief in loss, before death, and after death as you navigate the loss, death, and grief of your pet.

Pet Loss Support
I was born three months after my brother died. I definitely filled the empty space of my brother’s death. Because I am a replacement child, I do have awareness and understanding of this very specific journey. I will hold space as we explore your journey
as a replacement child and what this means for you as a child, now as an adult, and going forward in your life.
