I worked in the field of Dependency with the Department of Children and Families for 13 years before becoming an Attorney. My passion is families and children. I have been practicing in the area of Family Law and have learned that my skills obtained while working with DCF have suited me well in working in the often emotionally-charged climate of Family Law. I have a innate ability to think outside of the box and find creative ways to help solve problems for my clients. I am a strong advocate for my clients and believe in the judicial process. I treat my fellow attorneys with the respect they deserve. I am a divorced parent so I understand the important balance of co-parenting with your former spouse while caring for your children in two separate homes that often have different rules and standards in each home. I am also a Guardian Ad Litem on Family Law cases which allows me to advocate for children and their best interest.
