I’m a Family Lawyer, and I’ve worked exclusively in this space for over 15 years. I support people through some of the most emotionally charged, life-defining chapters they’ll ever face. And while the law is my toolkit, it’s your story that shapes the way I use it. I grew up in a small town in Western Australia. I went to school in that small town. I always knew I wanted to see the world. People and other cultures fascinated me. I have always had big curiosity. After school I headed overseas to find adventure. For over a year I travelled to numerous countries, meeting different people who spoke their own languages and I learned the important art of communication. After returning to Australia, I completed my Bachelor of Psychology degree in far North Queensland. Followed closely by my Bachelor of Law with Honours. I developed a fascination with the entanglement of Law and Psychology. I knew I wanted to work in a space where people and problem-solving came together and that’s exactly what family law is.
Helping people during one of the most difficult times of their lives feels good. I quickly developed a style with a gentle empathising touch combined with a highly strategic approach. Clients often indicate that they find the family law process complex and frightening. My goal is to simplify this process and guide the matter to resolution wherever possible.
In this work, I blend strategic clarity with calm, confident guidance. Whether we’re navigating parenting arrangements, property division, or the emotional messiness of separation, I’ll help you make smart and focussed decisions that reflect who you are and where you want to go next. In circumstances where early dispute resolution is not achievable, court intervention may be the only way forward and in those cases a focus on strategy, preparation and advocacy is key.
Helping you find resolution isn’t just my job. It’s my purpose. The truth is, it is you, the people, the families and the stories that continue to drive my focus to making the world of family law a better place for those who must traverse it. By trusting me as your lawyer you are letting me into your family circle. The most precious thing in the world. Your hopes, dreams, fears, successes, challenges and secrets. Your business, your home, your children, your life. I am privileged to be a part of it and to help guide you to a resolution which best achieves your future goals. After all, this story is about you, not me.
