Prior to becoming an attorney I worked for over 15 years as a Mental Health Therapist counseling youths and their families. I have an affinity for children and believe they have a voice that deserves to be heard. Navigating the legal system can be extremely difficult for adults and often anxiety provoking and confusing for children and adolescents. They are are asked to make decisions that will affect their life that require guidance.. Though I am a strong proponent of the institution of marriage I understand that sometimes divorce is the best solution. As divorce is often not amicable having someone to advocate on your behalf is often necessary and well-advised.
