The essence of what I do is to provide advice and advocacy for clients during some of the toughest moments in their lives. My greatest strength in this profession is my ability to listen, empathize, and offer creative solutions to help my clients not only succeed in court but also find a way forward after their family law case concludes. If you were to ask people who know me to describe me in a few words, I believe they would say "thoughtful."

Throughout my career, I've learned that family law is not just about having the best legal arguments; it's about empathy, problem-solving, common sense, and good judgment. These qualities are crucial in achieving positive results when dealing with such personal and sensitive matters. What I like most about helping my clients is calming their fears about the court system, providing them with guidance and support during difficult times.

In my free time, my top three hobbies and passions include working out to stay active and healthy, reading to broaden my horizons, and cooking to experiment with new flavors and cuisines.
