I graduated from UC Berkeley Law in 2004 and joined the Los Angeles office of the international firm Orrick as a litigation associate. After moving to New York in 2007, I chose to specialize in family law. I received an LL.M. in Family Law and ADR processes at the Hofstra School of Law and served as a clinical professor at Hofstra, where I directed the Mediation Clinic and taught family law-focused ADR courses. I returned to California with my family in 2014 and since then, I have been practicing family law exclusively. 

I am a Certified Family Law Specialist and I advocate both in the Courtroom setting and in settlement negotiations. I am also an experienced mediator and provide mediation services as a neutral, as well as representation for clients who are working in mediation. I am also a trained Collaborative lawyer.
