I offer information on the range of options at the end of life. I do not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, therapy, or any legal advice. I do not endorse or encourage any plan or option. I do not promote any ethical perspective or belief system. I offer an atmosphere free from judgment, honoring all individuals regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, culture, ethnicity or any other factor. My goal is to educate people on the full range of their end-of-life options, help them identify their values, beliefs, and decisions, and then help them communicate this information to their family, caregivers, and decision makers. Whether to make an end-of-life decision or implement a plan remains each individual’s choice.
