What I Do

Two kinds of chaos.
One person to help with both.

Whether you're planning ahead or already in the thick of it, I help you figure out what needs doing, and make sure it gets done.

Before Loss

Planning While You Can

I help you work through what needs to be documented, organized, and communicated, at whatever pace feels right.

  • Wills, trusts & power of attorney coordination
  • Advanced directives & healthcare wishes
  • Password vaults & digital account access
  • Financial account inventory & beneficiary review
  • Key contact binder so loved ones know who to call
  • Physical & digital file organization
  • Family interviews & legacy documentation
After Loss

Navigating What Comes Next

After a loss, the to-do list is relentless. I step in as your logistical partner, managing tasks so you can focus on what matters.

  • Celebration of life planning
  • Estate administration & probate navigation
  • Billing, subscriptions & account cancellations
  • Insurance claims & benefits coordination
  • Home cleanout, sale & lease termination
  • Vendor communication & mail management
  • Tax preparation coordination

"Getting your affairs in order is the most loving thing you can do."

How It Works

We Work Together

No two situations are the same. Here's how we figure out what yours needs, and how I show up for it.

1 Free Discovery Call
We spend 30 minutes together — no agenda, no pitch. You tell me what's going on, and I'll tell you honestly whether and how I can help. There's no obligation and no fee for this call.
2 Custom Roadmap
If we decide to work together, I put together a personalized scope of what needs to be done, in what order, and what my involvement looks like. You review it, we adjust, and then we begin.
3 The Legwork
Every decision stays with you. I handle the legwork: researching options, coordinating vendors, managing timelines, and making sure things actually happen. I'm the one who follows up so you don't have to.
4 A Leave-Behind Guide
When we wrap up, you'll have a clear, organized record of what we did and what your family needs to know. Not a binder collecting dust — a real, usable document that means they won't be starting from scratch.

About Me

Why should you work with me?

Hi, I'm Ari. My mom was my best friend. After losing her — and then several more people I loved in quick succession — I learned something I can't unlearn: no one should have to figure this out alone.

I've planned celebrations of life, sold homes, closed businesses, broken leases, managed estate taxes (the irony of being a CPA myself is not lost on me), sat across from more lawyers than I can count, argued with hospitals, navigated probate, and wound down finances.

I've also cried in a parking lot, lost friends, Googled things no one should have to, and eaten my weight in string cheese more than once. I've learned when to be gentle and when to be firm, and I've gotten very good at knowing which one the moment calls for.

So I built Light & Ari. I help people prepare before anything happens, and I walk beside them when it does.

This is for you, mom ❤️
