Hello
I believe families can be their own decision-makers. I believe that despite their differences, with enough information and the right tools, couples who are separating can work together to create a successful parenting and/or financial plan tailored to meet their individual and collective needs.
My goal is to:​
-
Provide a safe space for difficult conversations
-
Give you family law information and resources to boost your knowledge base
-
Help clarify the issues
-
Generate options and discuss action plans that are focused on the future and that keep your children a priority
-
As a neutral guide, oversee your negotiation toward a peaceful resolution for your family
My Background
I am a Family and Child Protection Mediator accredited by the Ontario Association for Family Mediation, living and working in Frontenac County. Born in Nova Scotia, I was raised on military bases across Canada, from Halifax to Calgary.
​
I have a Bachelor of Laws degree from Osgoode Hall Law School and a Master of Laws degree in Alternative Dispute Resolution. I have been a Lawyer for more than 20 years with a special interest in helping young people and couples who are separating.
I am a long-standing member of the Family Duty Counsel panel and I am on the Family Mediation panel for the Ministry of the Attorney General Court Connected Mediation Programs in several jurisdictions in Eastern Ontario. I am a panel member of the Office of the Children's Lawyer and I am trained in interviewing children for the purposes of writing Voice of the Child Reports.
