I can assist you and your family in navigating
the unknown.
I will be a safe presence. You will have the opportunity
to express your needs and wishes so that healthcare providers, family, and friends understand and respect what’s most important to you each step of the way.
Planning allows you to engage fully with life, be with family and friends, and live fully on your terms until
the last breath. Your family will be relieved of making difficult decisions and will able to be present with you,
to grieve together and say goodbyes.
I am in North Carolina in the Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill area. I work in-person and virtually with clients across the region and virtually with clients in other areas.
Review the sample engagements below and contact
me to learn how I will stand with you and support you
and your family.
