“An estate plan should reflect a client’s unique circumstances, including their priorities, relationships, and assets. I lead with compassion and curiosity so that my clients feel comfortable revealing these private aspects of themselves, which then allows us to create a plan that is just right for them.”

She has worked with young parents and small business owners in Cape Elizabeth, single professionals in Portland, empty nesters in Freeport, a widowed nonagenarian in Saco, and a mix of clients who represent all of those life phases in between.

She has experienced many pivotal moments in all of these roles, including marriage, birth, loss, estrangement, Alzheimers, and supporting loved ones with addiction and in making gender affirming decisions.
