Family Lawyer
I am an experienced family lawyer, Collaborative Divorce practitioner, and Law Society-accredited Family Law Mediator. I was called to the bar in 2017 and completed my Collaborative Law training in 2025. I help clients navigate separation with clarity and confidence, and I assist those beginning new relationships to build a strong foundation through cohabitation and marriage agreements. While I have extensive experience as a courtroom advocate, my focus is on helping families resolve disputes through respectful, out-of-court processes. I believe the Collaborative Divorce process, mediation, and interest-based negotiation offer clients the greatest opportunity to reach durable, personalized solutions—without the stress, cost, and uncertainty of litigation. My approach is calm, strategic, and practical. I work with clients to find meaningful resolution and to approach conflict in a way that reflects their values and long-term goals. With the right support, I believe family law challenges can become an opportunity for growth and a new beginning. I understand that legal services can be difficult to afford. As part of my commitment to access to justice, I offer limited scope (unbundled) legal services, including advice, coaching, drafting, and document preparation. I also reserve a portion of my time for pro bono and sliding scale work.
