Experience matters.

For the past seventeen years, I’ve worked as a civil rights lawyer helping people navigate complicated systems when the stakes were high. That work taught me how to quickly understand complex situations, ask the right questions, identify what’s really going on, and develop a practical strategy forward. I know how to research unfamiliar issues, evaluate options, coordinate multiple people and moving pieces, advocate when someone isn’t being heard, and recognize when something doesn’t seem right. Most importantly, I know how to stay with a problem—adjusting the strategy when necessary—until we find a solution that works.

My experience isn’t only professional. I’m a mom of two young boys, one of many in a very large family, and someone who became comfortable with a certain amount of chaos early in life. I’ve bought a foreclosed house, sight unseen, and managed the countless vendors and decisions it took to turn it into a beautiful home. I’ve helped care for aging parents and have firsthand experience with grief, loss, and the difficult decisions that come with both. Through it all, I’ve learned that my strength is the ability to stay levelheaded when things feel complicated or overwhelming—when someone needs a steady head, a clear next step, or simply another person beside them who can help figure out what to do.

But experience is only part of what I bring. My passion is in helping people.

I care about what happens next.

My goal isn't simply to understand your problem. It's to help you move through it and leave our work together feeling empowered.
