YOU ARE WORTHY OF LIVING FULLY.

End of Life

Illness, aging and death are a natural part of life. On my journey to becoming a counselor, I spent some time with hospice patients and my experience of being with dying was transformed. There were many hard days, but there was always something beautiful to take away. During our life, death is often something that is far off in the distance. It is possible to transform the intellectual idea of death into a physical, felt sense of impermanence. This happens by noticing and allowing everything to be felt and attended to—even the fear, anger and sadness. Death is just as much a part of life as living.

Often we think death has come too soon. We can get caught in dialogue with our inner critic and feel inferior, unsure, and like our life has not measured up to what we had hoped. This all falls in the realm of normal. In our work together, we will attend to everything that arises. Like seeds of trees, our bodies begin with all we need in life. We have been living and dying for thousands of years. Your body has inherent and passed down wisdom on dying. In opening up to the reality of our mortality, we can allow our body to guide us to what it already knows how to do.

Our work will center around your process. There are no fancy interventional strategies here. This is a process of being with, not doing. Being with each other, being with emotions, questions, and difficulties, and being with the natural process of dying. Your death is unique and as such, I want to be of service to you and notice what it is that you need.

If mobility is an issue and coming to sessions in-person is not possible, remote telehealth counseling and in-home therapy options can be discussed.
