The work looks different for every person and every family. Some people come to me months before a death, wanting time to think, plan, and get their affairs in order. Some come in the final weeks, needing a steady presence in the room. Some come after. Wherever you are in that arc, there's a place for you here.

Below you'll find the ways we can work together. If you're not sure which one fits, reach out anyway. We'll figure it out together.

- End of Life Planning — Together we map out the decisions that need to be made — medical directives, legal documents, final wishes — so nothing is left to chance and your loved ones aren't left guessing.
- Swedish Death Cleaning — A thoughtful process of sorting through a lifetime of belongings, deciding what to pass on, let go, or preserve — done with care, not urgency.
- Legacy & Document Planning — From letters to loved ones to organizing the paperwork that outlives us, I help you get it all in order so your story is told on your terms.
- LGBTQ+ Centered Death Work — Death care that sees and honors you fully. I offer affirming, identity-conscious support for queer and trans individuals and their chosen families at every stage.
- Addiction-Informed Death Care — For families and individuals whose experience of dying or grief is shaped by addiction, I offer care that meets you exactly where you are — without shame, without judgment, and with full recognition of how complicated this kind of love and loss can be.
- Legacy & Keepsake Work — Letters, memory books, recorded conversations, objects with meaning — I help you create something tangible that carries a life forward.
- Funeral Celebrant — A personalized ceremony that actually sounds like the person who died. I work with families to craft and lead a goodbye that is true, meaningful, and theirs.
- Altar Making — An altar is a place to gather grief, memory, and love. I help you build one that feels intentional and sacred, whether for an active dying process, a memorial, or ongoing remembrance.
Twelve sessions. Twelve things to cross off. By the end, your affairs are in order — and the people you love won't have to figure it out later. This is practical, paced, and actually doable.

" I didn't know exactly what I wanted as I looked at end-of-life planning in my '60s. Leslie was a master navigator of both the practical, like advance directives, but also how I want to be remembered. She ignited me in how I want to embrace friends in these last few decades of my life."

"As someone in recovery, I wanted to look at special considerations around my fears and worries for the future. She helped me look at what treatments were not acceptable to me, and how I might look at forgiveness during my dying process."

"As an LGBTQ+ person, I had special challenges in creating a memorial service and legacy book concept. Leslie helped walk me through a beautiful plan for both ideas."

My Process

Stacked smooth stones in shades of black, gray, and white.

30-minute consult

We start with a conversation. You're invited to share what's on your heart — where you are, what you're navigating, and what kind of support you're looking for.

Proposal

Every situation is unique, and so is the support I offer. After our call, I'll put together a clear outline of how we might work together, including what to expect, timing, and fees — so you can make a decision that feels right for you and your family.

Delivery

This is where I show up — whether that means planning, presence, paperwork, or simply sitting with you in the hard moments. I'll be by your side through every step of the process.

Closing

When the immediate work is complete, we take time to reflect and ensure nothing has been left unattended. You won't be left to figure out next steps alone — I'll make sure you feel held, informed, and ready for what comes next.
