It’s nice to meet you.

After a decade of offering support to bereaved families, I was drawn to this work as a means of helping alleviate unnecessary stress when the unthinkable happens.

My approach is client-centered. I carefully guide my clients through the many necessary decisions, and support them in having those difficult conversations. I also implement flat fees, and let you know up front if there will be any additional costs. I arrange meetings in my clients’ homes, my home office, or virtually.

If it is true that preparing your will is one of the unpleasantries of life, it is my goal to make the process as pleasant as possible
