I help families and individuals safely navigate life's most difficult transitions. As an active collaborative practitioner, I am dedicated to helping clients, their spouses, and their children respectfully resolve their issues in a client controlled and safe environment.

Comments

Together with two other practitioners, I was one of the first trained collaborative attorneys in Virginia (2002) and have sponsored trainings to expand collaborative practice in Virginia. I have practiced in various collaborative models, most recently with the full interdisciplinary team that I believe provides families the full support they need to make the smoothest transition possible through the divorce process. I recently trained to become a trainer in the collaborative divorce model, and look forward to teaching and mentoring new collaborative professionals.
