In 2015, I lost my dad after he suffered a stroke. I'm part of a blended family, which presented its own challenges, and he did not have his "ducks in a row" so-to-speak. We were forced to make some really difficult decisions without knowing what his wishes were. To this day I often wonder if we made the right ones. I have made it my mission to educate my clients on the importance of planning so that their loved ones don't have to go through what I went through.
About me
I have called Minnesota home my entire life! I grew up in Richfield, went to St. Thomas for my undergrad and William Mitchell for law school. I live in Victoria with my husband Scott and my two boys, Dylan (a senior in high school) and Ryan (a sophomore in high school).
Hobbies? I spend all my free time on the sidelines of a soccer field, in the stands at a track meet or in an ice rink during the winter! I do love to travel and hope to do more of that in the future.

Unique Selling Proposition
I am not a traditional estate planning lawyer that is going to provide you with a set of form documents. What I do is called life and legacy planning which includes so much more than a set of documents. It's a proactive plan I help my clients create that leaves their loved ones with legal and financial clarity, support in making wise decisions, a trusted advisor, and the documents and guidance necessary to know what to do and who to turn to if you become incapacitated or when you pass away.
Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
Do you have a will, trust, power of attorney or health care directive?
Are you concerned about what would happen to your family/assets/business if you become incapacitated or pass away?
Do you want to keep your family out of court and conflict if you become incapacitated or pass away?
