My focus is on providing quality, individualized representation for my clients and obtaining the best result for each client's needs.  I am committed to making sure my clients know what is happening every step of the way. My areas of expertise include divorce, dissolutions of domestic partnerships, modifications, adoptions, custody, enforcement and protective orders.  My background in criminal defense helps me advocate aggressively on behalf of my clients. I have been practicing family law since 2007.  I obtained his Juris Doctor from Wake Forest University School of Law and my bachelor's degree in history from the University of Michigan. I enjoy mountain climbing, hiking, backpacking, reading literature and Shakespeare.

I was born and raised in Colorado, and received a Bachelors Degree in History with minors in Political Science and Legal Studies at Colorado State University.  After graduation I moved to Oregon to pursue my life long dream of becoming an attorney. I was accepted to Willamette University College of Law on a Presidential Scholarship and moved to Salem in the fall of 2017.. I graduated from Willamette University's College of Law as the Oregon Women Lawyer's Law Graduate of the year.. I was formally sworn in as a member of the Oregon State Bar in October 2020. Since admission, I have represented clients in numerous family law cases including high value asset division, custody and parenting time modifications, spousal support modifications, prenuptual agreements, marital settlement agreements, and divorce litigation. I have also completed a 40 hour mediation training with Dr. Clare Fowler.. I emphasize communication and transparency in my practice. As an attorney you can rely on me to be honest with you and willing to guide you every step of the way. I feel it is important to recognize the mental and emotional costs of your case as well as the financial costs in order to determine the best path forward. My goal is to make sure you are not entrenched in a years-long legal battle and to find a solution that works for you.. I love living and working in Oregon. I spend my off hours hiking, camping, listening to podcasts, knitting, and spending time with my husband in our garden.

I have a decade of experience handling Washington and Oregon family law cases and feel honored and lucky to have learned from the best of the best. I bring that wealth of knowledge to my practice but what truly sets me apart is my accessiblity to clients, attention to detail and approach to resolving cases in a peaceful manner.  I give my clients straight answers and the support they need to reach negotiated settlements.. Each client and family are different and I recognize that for some, a negotiated resolution is not possible and in those instances, I provide competent and effective trial advocacy.. I also offer flexible payment options to clients so may be able to offer services to those who cannot afford high retainers. Please think of me when you know somone in need of the services I offer.. When I am not working, I enjoy doing Vinyasa yoga, gardening, backpacking and bike riding with my daughter trailing behind me.
