My aim is to help families affected by separation and divorce reach solutions without going to Court, as well as making private mediation widely accessible.

I bring to Mediation a thorough understanding of the Family Law system and its processes having been admitted to the Supreme Court of South Australia in 2008 and working exclusively in Family Law.  I have provided specialised advice on complex property settlements, maintenance, child support, divorce and parenting disputes, having held employment as a Senior Associate for a leading Family Law firm in Western Australia.
