I chose the practice of law after achieving professional success in both the public and private sectors. My corporate experience in contract negotiation for the government and in strategic planning in the high tech field strengthen my
role as a facilitator, advocate and collaborative partner for my clients.

The traditional adversarial legal approach can be costly, both in time and in money, for dealing with family matters such as the breakdown of a relationship
or the death or incapacity of a loved one. The law is often ill suited to deal with the emotional issues present at such times. I apply my experience and expertise to minimize these drawbacks and craft positive solutions.

To provide my clients with the specialization and attention they deserve,
I have focused my practice area to family matters. In addition to my law degree, I have a Masters degree in Conflict Resolution, and am an Accredited Mediator with the Ontario Association for Family Mediation, am on the panel of the
Ottawa Collaborative Network, and am a member of the Ottawa Estates
Planning Council.
