Two people sitting on the floor in a living room surrounded by cardboard boxes and interior design materials, with some papers, swatches, and a small open notebook spread out in front of them.

Attorney-led estate planning services in Kitsap County. No pressure, just clarity.

Two women, one with red hair and the other with gray hair and glasses, are working at a table in a kitchen. The woman with red hair is looking down at the table, smiling, while the gray-haired woman is sitting and also focused on something on the table. There are glasses, books, a laptop, and a notebook on the table, and in the background, a plant and glassware are visible.

Heart-Centered, Clear, and Built Around You

Two women sit close together, smiling and looking at each other. One has short blond hair and wears a yellow necklace and a sleeveless top, while the other has curly reddish hair and wears a yellow top.

No two families are the same, so no two plans should be either. When we work together, I'll take the time to understand your family, your goals, and what "peace of mind" actually looks like for you — then build a plan that fits your life and your budget. You won't get a generic template or a lecture in legal jargon. You'll get a clear explanation of your options, a recommendation I believe in, and a plan you actually understand.

I served as a Navy Judge Advocate for over ten years, helping military leaders navigate the legal fallout of service members' worst days through processes like courts-martials and administrative separations. The Navy sharpened my dedication, my attention to detail, and my ability to solve hard problems under pressure.

But what I left with was something more personal: a passion for helping families — especially queer families — make critical legal and financial decisions that protect what matters most. I started this firm because I wanted to be the kind of counselor people could trust for a lifetime, not just for one document.

I recently joined with John Kenney and Associates so that no matter where you're starting from, I want to help you make informed decisions from a place of confidence, not fear.

When I'm not with clients, you'll usually find me digging in the dirt with the Master Gardeners of Kitsap County, skating with my teammates at Rat City Roller Derby, or knitting under a blanket on my couch. I live in Poulsbo, Washington, with my husband, Patrick, and our three rescue cats: Willow, Ruth Bader Ginspurr, and Nannerpuss.

I'd love to meet you and help you protect what — and who — matters most.
