ABOUT ME
I am an experienced attorney, mediator, educator and mother of two. I have practiced Collaborative Law and Mediation since 2005. My experience practicing law for the last ~ 20 years has given me a deep understanding of the divorce process and how straining it can be on individuals and their families. I am passionate about helping people through this process by delivering compassionate, exceptional services to minimize the burden of the divorce experience. I am a subject matter expert in family law and have extensive experience working through complex financial and family matters.
