I am here to reimagine...

My business is called Rites of Passage because I believe that acknowledging the changes we experience throughout life is essential to our well-being.
My work includes supporting people as they dive into the big questions of life and death. Essentially, I hold space for people to connect with themselves, those around them, and with the sacred, whatever that means to them.
In addition to my professional experience, my personal journey through the joys and challenges of life's changes informs my work. I bring my expertise, experience, and heart to my clients to support growth, healing, and transformation.

My Community Resources

Grief Support
In grief support, we engage questions as they arise, explore doubts and fears, and ponder the nature of life and death.

Life Transition Rituals
A unique, customized ritual can help ease the stress of a life transition or acknowledge feelings of gratitude, accomplishment, and delight in a life celebration.

Spiritual Companionship
Spiritual companionship is a practice of presence with the intention of holding space for those facing life’s challenges or exploring life’s big questions.
