Introduction:

I am a family lawyer, accredited mediator, and certified collaborative divorce practitioner.

I recognize that divorce is one of the most stressful life events and am committed to helping my clients through the process with compassion and care. I am dedicated to resolving family law matters outside of court whenever possible and believe that the collaborative process offers the healthiest and most child-centred approach to divorce for families. Major life transitions are often accompanied by feelings of helplessness, including loss of control and fear of the unknown. I am passionate about the collaborative process because it empowers clients by allowing them to be active in making decisions about what their future will look like.

With a background in psychology, I earned my law degree from the University of Toronto in 2010. I articled at a national law firm before being called to the Ontario Bar in 2011. My legal career has since spanned multiple jurisdictions—I was admitted as a lawyer in New South Wales, Australia, in 2017 and called to the Bar of British Columbia in 2019. Most recently, I practiced family and fertility law for six years at a leading family law firm in Vancouver.

In March 2025, I founded Conception Law to support clients through significant life transitions. My priority is to protect my clients and guide them through their matters with warmth and expertise. Please contact me for a free consultation and to learn more about the collaborative process.
