“My practice is built on the belief that great estate planning begins with genuine listening. I take the time to understand not just what my clients own, but what they value. From that foundation, I craft plans that are as unique as the individuals behind them, designed to adapt as life inevitably changes. I guide my clients through the process with clarity and patience, translating complex legal concepts into plain language so they can make confident, informed decisions.”
In her free time, Alayna enjoys all things music, from going to live shows with her friends and family to playing the piano at home or listening to her vinyl collection. She also enjoys reading, a good puzzle, and cheering on her son at hockey.
