What You Can Expect

From our first conversation to your walk down the aisle (or trail, or dock, or backyard path), you’ll feel supported, understood, and gently guided. My approach is relaxed, thoughtful, and relationship-centered—grounded in 30+ years of experience working with people from all walks of life.

Together, we’ll create a ceremony that reflects who you are—not what anyone else expects. This might include:

• A custom-written ceremony that tells your story

• A mix of humor, depth, storytelling, and reflection

• The option to include family, friends, children, or pets

• Space for your own vows or meaningful readings

• A tone that’s spiritual, secular, playful, or heartfelt—whatever’s most you

All Are Welcome Here

I work with couples of all backgrounds, ages, cultures, and gender identities. Whether you’re spiritual-but-not-religious, fully secular, Humanist, or just “not church people,” I’ll help you craft a ceremony that honors your love with sincerity and care.

You’ve Found the One—Now Let’s Make the Ceremony Just as Meaningful

You’re not looking for a cookie-cutter ceremony.
You want something honest. Joyful. Warm.
Something that feels like you.

As a Humanist celebrant and seasoned therapist, I specialize in helping couples create wedding ceremonies that are deeply personal—whether it’s a quiet elopement, a lakeside vow exchange, or a full celebration with friends and family. I bring a calm, kind, inclusive presence to every ceremony I lead—holding space for your love, your values, and your unique way of moving through the world.

I’m here to make this moment feel like home.
