I received my undergraduate degree from Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and attended the Thomas M. Cooley School of Law in Lansing, Michigan. While I am a recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest I am happy to call Oregon my home. One of the best parts of living in Oregon is the access to outdoor activities. I enjoy skiing, bike riding, and hiking with my dog, Suzy. On rainy days I like to play the guitar, brew beer, and cook vegetables from my garden. My practice is founded on guiding clients through complex legal situations during the very emotional times created as a result of divorce, custody, guardianship, adoption, and other family law matters by concentrating on the permissible rights and obligations of all parties involved. Family law matters can often be contemptuous, which is why it is my goal to support the interest of my clients and maintain honest dialogue in order to create a relationship of trust during situations of crisis. If you would like to discuss your legal matter with me, please contact me at to schedule a consultation. I hope to help you get the solutions you need.
