About Colleen

Two decades of helping clients navigate life’s most complex transitions

The first year I was in business, no matter what problem a client had originally called about, we ultimately ended up tackling a pile of papers. A year later, I became certified in the FreedomFiler maintenance-free paper management system and spent years organizing home and small business offices.

But everything changed when my mother got cancer. As an only child, much of the work fell to me. With no prior experience as a power of attorney or executor, I suddenly found myself navigating both roles within three months.

For a year, my sense of time was unreliable. Once I was surprised by what month it was. But organizing saved me. At least I knew what bills had been paid and where my mother’s medical notes were. In time, the workload dwindled and the fog lifted.

After that experience, I started focusing specifically on helping adults in our middle years navigate difficult, paperwork-laden life changes. I know what it’s like to be overwhelmed. And I know what it takes to find your way through.
