Choosing the right lawyer is a critical step in your separation process. Let me tell you a bit about my background and then let’s jump on a 15-minute call to connect one-on-one.

I graduated law school from the University of Alberta in 2007 and articled and practiced with a top regional firm until 2010 when I decided to practice exclusively in family law. For the majority of my career I’ve worked in private practice, helping people through divorce and separation, but also worked at the Edmonton Law Courts helping self-represented individuals navigate the Court system without a lawyer. I help clients with a variety of family law issues, including divorce, common law (unmarried) separation, property division (including more complex matters like professional corporations, self-employment, corporate interests etc.), child support, spousal support, parenting (custody and access) and separation agreements.

Education and professional memberships:

• Graduated University of Alberta Law School in 2007;
Called to the Alberta Bar in 2008, practicing exclusively in family law since 2010;
• Registered Collaborative Family Lawyer;
• Registered Mediator with Alberta Family Mediation Society;
• CDC Certified Divorce Coach;
• Member of the Law Society of Alberta, Canadian Bar Association (Family Law);
• Member of the Association of Family Collaborative Practitioners Education Committee.

I’m passionate about providing efficient and timely legal representation to my clients, and I understand the importance of maintaining a civil relationship for people going through a divorce, especially those with kids. The reality is that your kids will have their own divorce story, and you are going to want to attend your children’s weddings, grandchildren’s birthdays and family events in the future without making it awkward for your adult kids. The task of laying the groundwork for an amicable separation starts with your choice of lawyer and process. My focus is on dispute resolution so that you can move on.
