Your Guide Through Overwhelming Systems

With 15 years of experience as a guardianship professional in Colorado, I've walked alongside hundreds of families during their most overwhelming moments. I understand the confusion, fear, and exhaustion that comes when a loved one faces psychiatric crisis, criminal justice involvement, or needs a higher level of care.

I'm not an attorney, therapist, or doctor. I'm your navigator — someone who knows these systems inside and out and can help you understand your options, ask the right questions, and find the path forward.

I believe everyone deserves support during life's hardest transitions, regardless of ability to pay. That's why I offer sliding scale fees and am working toward a foundation model to serve more families in need.
