I am a writer, lawyer, mediator and mother leading an intentional, settlement-based practice centered on both individual and community well-being, helping clients find peace in the midst of conflict.

Prior to becoming a lawyer, I worked as a chaplain at the University of British Columbia, (UBC) assisting students and their families in situations of crisis and everyday living. My Masters degree included courses in family systems and marriage/family dynamics that provide valuable tools for my work with families facing separation and divorce.

During my studies at the Allard School of Law at UBC, I engaged in court-intensive work as a Judicial Intern for Vancouver’s Provincial Court. I later served as a BC Supreme Court law clerk, supporting six judges and overseeing family law projects for the whole court. These experiences provided invaluable insight into the judicial process and equipped me with a unique perspective on dispute resolution, which I now bring to my family law practice.

Two of the many things I love about my job is equipping co-parents to transition their family into two homes and working with other professionals, such as mental health professionals and financial specialists, as we assist separating couples holistically.

Before establishing Renovate Family Law & Mediation in December 2024, I spent over seven years as a family lawyer and mediator at Connect Family Law, serving clients across Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. My family law career began at RDM Lawyers in Abbotsford after articling at Alexander Holburn LLP in Vancouver.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy hiking with my young adult children, baking, writing and volunteering in the community. I live with my husband and two dogs on S’olh Temexw—the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Stó:lō Nation and the six Ts’elxwéyeqw communities.

My commitment to clients is to guide them through challenging family transitions with a calm, knowledgeable approach, always valuing compassion, inclusivity and long-term peace.
