A Life Worth Remembering, a Story Worth Sharing

As we move through life, many of us feel the need to look back and take stock — to find meaning in our experiences, and to ensure our story adds up to something we feel proud to share. We prepare wills to pass down our possessions, but what about the things that can’t be measured in dollars — the hard-earned wisdom, meaningful stories, and life lessons that have shaped us?

Legacy Therapy provides a space to explore those questions. Whether you’re reaching the later chapters of your life or simply want to pause and reflect, this process is about making sense of your life decisions and crafting your story into something you can share. For many, it’s also about facing the end of life with a sense of peace rather than regret, knowing their story will carry forward in meaningful ways.

How Legacy Therapy Can Help

Legacy Therapy uses writing and reflection to help you:

  • Clarify the story you want to tell about your life

  • Process unfinished experiences or emotions

  • Create legacy letters for loved ones

  • Transform private reflections into gifts of meaning and connection

My Approach

I bring a unique background as both a published author and therapist. I’ve also delivered talks on the therapeutic power of writing, including a speech on Legacy Letters.

Our work may include:

  • Guided writing prompts to spark self-reflection

  • Collaborative feedback to bring clarity and emotional depth

  • Exploring how your values, lessons, and stories can live on

  • Crafting written pieces you can share with family or keep for yourself
