As a Unitarian Universalist Minister, one of my most significant responsibilities and honors is to play a role in witnessing and officiating various rites of passage, such as weddings, funerals, and child dedications, providing guidance and meaningful rituals for individuals and families. From my experience, I know how vital it is to have a calming presence to guide and officiate at times of life's changes. As a UU, I strive to craft personalized ceremonies that reflect the values and beliefs of the individuals involved, drawing from our faith's commitment to inclusivity, justice, and respect for diversity. I hope to ensure that these ceremonies are legally recognized and deeply meaningful, offering support and creating sacred moments of connection. Additionally, I am trained to offer counseling and/or preparatory sessions to help individuals navigate these significant life transitions' emotional and spiritual aspects when needed.
