My Approach

The end of a marriage brings financial, emotional, physical, and legal changes. I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate these issues in a way that leads to lasting resolution and the foundation to create your life after marriage. If you have children, I will assist you to establish a healthy co-parenting relationship.

The way you choose to divorce, how you make the choices and decisions in the legal process, can be done in a way that is cordial and collaborative, even when there is conflict and hurt. I can help you divorce in a way that is best for you and your family.
