“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”
― Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Rites of Passage
As a Unitarian Universalist minister, I offer personalized wedding services tailored to your wishes and beliefs. I support and celebrate all expressions of love and gender identities, and I will work with you to create a meaningful ceremony that reflects your unique relationship and commitment to each other.
I also offer a wide-range of rituals beyond weddings. Whether you are planning a baby dedication that blends different cultural or religious backgrounds, or honoring a loved one from a different faith tradition, I will work with you to create a heartfelt and meaningful ceremony that reflects your unique needs and wishes.
Let's work together to create a beautiful and unforgettable experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.
