"“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.” - Dorothy Thomas"
I am a Family Law attorney dedicated to helping people navigate complex issues and achieve their long-term goals as they move through major life transitions. My greatest strengths are patience and empathy—I understand my clients are facing some of the most challenging times in their lives, and I strive to support them with compassion and understanding.
People who know me describe me as compassionate. I’ve learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution in family law; every family is unique, and my job is to translate their needs into legal terms that set them up for long-term success. While I can’t make the process painless, I do my best to make it a little less painful, and I try to bring humor when it’s appropriate.
I’m proud to call Oregon home—I grew up here and love the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy traveling, but at the end of the day, I always want to come back here. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family (my better half and our two four-legged children), watching college football, and being creative through painting, music, or baking.
My guiding philosophy comes from Dorothy Thomas: “Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”
