Professional Background

As an attorney, I have spent more than twenty years working with families in family law and child protection matters.  I believe in the nontraditional processes of mediation and collaborative divorce. I am certified in mediation and collaborative divorce and I am committed to helping couples find the best solutions for their families' needs and goals while maintaining civility.  Mediation and collaborative divorce encourage couples to step out of their marriage in a private, dignified way and enables couples and children to accept and embrace a new definition of family. My experience and skills offer clients a healthier, better way to divorce.
