Biography
"Divorce can be one of the biggest transitions in one's life, and one of the scariest, lowest periods we face. Helping people through this is the work I do best. I am accessible and responsive to my clients throughout the process. I myself have gone through a divorce when my children were young and now have two teenage children. While every situation is different, my experience and expertise allows me to interact with my clients with compassion and a sense of humor, with a real understanding of the challenges, and with a strategic, experienced eye toward achieving the best possible results for both the immediate time and the long run.
To set up an initial consultation, please contact me. I look forward to working with you."
