Empowering and educating women through the difficult process of divorce is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I give women the tools they need to not only understand the financial situation and future they face, but also assist them in prioritizing goals and needs and walking them through the negotiation process. I strive to be empathetic when offering advice, understanding that the legal part and the emotional part of a family law case are often entangled and it is necessary to separate the two aspects of the case when offering counsel.
