I am an Estate Planning Attorney & Mom of Three and I absolutely LOVE what I do. Helping families ensure that their loved ones are adequately protected is my passion, and I feel so lucky to be able to guide my clients through the process.

My hope is to build long-lasting relationships and friendships with my clients and to become a trusted advisor through the many changes life brings.

I look forward to guiding your family through this critical process.

Originally from Houston, Texas, I graduated from Texas A&M University and moved to Colorado for law school just after graduation. I received my J.D. from The University of Denver College of Law in two and a half years and was admitted to the Colorado bar in May of 2004. In addition to being an attorney, I am also a licensed real estate broker and I love to dabble a bit in real estate in my spare time.

I am the proud mom of three incredibly hilarious, smart and loving girls. Becoming a mom in 2011 made me realize that I would do anything for that little person and that her needs now came before mine. This is the same philosophy behind having a well-organized estate plan in place – it is not about you, it is about your loved ones. They will be the ones to benefit from your estate plan. Getting your affairs in order is truly an un-selfish and proactive choice you can make on behalf of your family.

When I’m not helping families make choices for protecting their loved ones, I enjoy spending time outside with my family, running, yoga and a good craft beer. I look forward to helping you and your family and to becoming your lifetime trusted advisor.
