I believe difficult moments
deserve honest, human support.
Between Here & Home grew from years spent alongside people and animals during some of the hardest moments of their lives.
I’ve seen how much can exist in the space between knowing a goodbye is coming and learning how to live after it—and how often people are expected to navigate that space without enough support.
This work began long before Between Here & Home.
My path to this work didn’t begin in a classroom. It began in veterinary medicine—caring for patients, supporting families, working in emergency and critical care, and eventually leading the people doing that work alongside me.
Again and again, I found myself drawn to the moments surrounding death and loss: the conversations before goodbye, the decisions no one feels prepared to make, the grief that follows, and the emotional weight carried by the professionals who help families through it.
That experience eventually led me deeper into the study of death, dying, and bereavement through graduate work in thanatology and death doula training.
Between Here & Home is where those pieces come together.
There is no perfect way to do this.
I don’t believe grief needs to be fixed, or that there is one right way to move through loss.
I believe people deserve honest information, room to ask difficult questions, and support that respects both the reality of what is happening and the relationship at the center of it.
Whether I’m working with a pet family or a veterinary team, my role isn’t to tell someone how they should feel or what they should choose. It’s to help make an overwhelming experience a little more understandable—and a little less lonely.
The foundation behind the work.
