• DNA
• Family History Research

As a genealogist, I work with adoptees, donor-conceived individuals, foundlings, those with unknown fathers, and families who simply want a clearer understanding of their ancestors and their history. Some clients come to me because of a DNA surprise. Others just want someone to dig in, sort things out, and make sense of the information. I do both.

My work includes traditional family history research as well as DNA-based searches for adoptees and those with unknown fathers. Records research, careful analysis, and clear explanations are always part of the process. After an initial conversation about your goals, I’m very clear about what’s possible, what may take time, and what questions may still remain when the work is done. I also offer reunion coaching for clients who want support thinking through next steps, first contact, or whether contact is even the right choice for them.

Are you looking for one-on-one genealogy and DNA coaching? I regularly work with older adults and with families helping a parent or grandparent who needs support with research or technology. I’m happy to meet in person locally or work by phone or Zoom. While I’m based in Las Vegas, Nevada, most of my work is done remotely, and I work with clients nationwide. If you’re in the Las Vegas area, I’m also happy to meet in person over coffee!

My practice is LGBTQ affirming and trans informed, with respect for all kinds of family structures. Confidentiality matters in this work, and sensitive situations are handled with care. Many people come to this work feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or cautious, and I focus on making the process feel manageable and respectful from the very first conversation.
