I support people of all ages in building a curious, creative relationship with death, grief, and life.
My work is rooted in the belief that our lives become richer when we get to know our own depths — our inner world, our mortality, our grief — and that this journeying doesn’t have to happen alone or solely in response to crisis.

offering: guided journaling
What
Meet with me for guided journaling sessions where I provide prompts, cue writing time, and invite optional sharing. This offering does not require any journaling experience or focus on the quality of your writing.
Prompts are custom to you and themed around whatever’s on your heart related to death, grief, or life. Topic possibilities are endless. A few examples:
How
Why
To me, the journal is a private, nonjudgmental haven — a place to freely explore, or simply be with, whatever we’re carrying. Tending to our inner world in this way often leads to lovely things: presence, release, revelation. I adore helping others step into the journal’s potential through custom prompts, gentle guidance, and compassionate companionship.

offering: legacy projects
What
Work with me to create a legacy project: a creative document that captures your life story or that of a loved one. These offer a deeply meaningful way to process and/or memorialize, whether you’re seeking to create a leave-behind for loved ones, or craft something primarily for yourself, to make sense of your earthly time.
Format is entirely tailored to you. If you’re seeking to capture the life of a loved one — not yourself — the project can be created while the subject is still living or retrospectively, after they have died. We can land on a format together if helpful, and the possibilities are vast. A few examples:
-
Oral history
-
Legacy letters
-
Ethical wills
-
Living funerals
-
Recipe books
-
Book of quotes/memories

- I can help with brainstorming, planning, and/or executing — open to being a hands-on collaborator, a hands-off sounding board, or something in between
Why
The mere experience of working on a legacy project can foster profound reflection and healing. Beyond process, though, assembling a tangible legacy document honors the singularity and impact of each of our lives. Leave-behind legacy projects also bring great comfort to grieving loved ones.
I have an affinity for capturing mundane beauties and details through legacy projects. Anyone who’s grieved before knows that it’s not just someone’s general persona or major accomplishments that are missed after death. It’s their simple intricacies, too. The fragrance they wore, the way they took their coffee, the way they pronounced particular words. Legacy projects provide an opportunity to remember it all.

on death work
I arrive to death work as a graduate of Going With Grace’s end-of-life doula training program, a former hospice volunteer at N.C. Little Hospice, a member of the Minnesota Death Doula Collaborative, and a grieving human.
What’s an end-of-life/death doula? A non-medical support person who provides emotional, spiritual, and/or practical support to a dying person, their loved ones, or anyone who’s interested in engaging with their mortality.
into the journal
My appreciation for journaling also informs Into the Journal, an interview project that I edit and share on Substack. It examines how and why people journal, because no two practices are identical.
journaling space
My guided journaling practice began before I found death work, when I ran a series of in-person group workshops called Journaling Space at Resource in Minneapolis. Even while guided journaling intersects wonderfully with death work, I’m always happy to support journaling sessions surrounding topics unrelated to death and grief.
