I began working in family law during my time in law school and have been practicing in this area ever since. I am deeply passionate about advocating for and representing LGBTQ+ individuals and families, particularly transgender clients. My commitment to the LGBTQ+ community began in high school, and during law school, I had the opportunity to represent queer and transgender clients as a legal intern. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to work with an attorney who understands their experiences and approaches their situation with empathy and understanding. I value lifelong learning and am dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion...

In my practice, I prioritize collaboration, where clients work together with a professional support team, outside of the courtroom, to create customized agreements that work for all parties.

My philosophy is rooted in civility, communication, compassion, and respect. Divorce and family law matters...
