I am a family law attorney, family law mediator, and Collaborative Divorce practitioner. I have practiced family law exclusively since 2015 and am admitted to practice law in California, Maryland, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia.

I counsel clients through all phases of the divorce process, including post-divorce matters. I also assist families who are beginning their relationships with premarital agreements and who are married with postmarital agreements.

I am passionate about out-of-court settlement work through negotiation, mediation, and Collaborative Divorce to help minimize the emotional and financial costs of a divorce. I understand that resolving disputes outside the court system empowers people to craft agreements that meet their goals and consider creative solutions beyond the traditional legal model.

I understand that navigating family law matters involves experiencing strong emotions while, at the same time, making important financial and legal decisions. I recognize that the conflict involved often includes emotional, financial, and legal dimensions. I am dedicated to helping clients navigate this conflict wisely and with confidence so that they can make sound and informed decisions and move forward with their lives.
