About me

People often get “stuck” in conflict. Moving on involves reaching an agreement with others, which can be tough, especially when emotions are high.

I worked previously as a Solicitor, advocating for my client. I now focus my efforts on providing dispute resolution services including mediation.

I completed my Masters of Laws (Applied Law) majoring in Family Dispute Resolution in 2021 and became registered as a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner with the Attorney General.

I use my previous experience as a Solicitor and knowledge of the Court system to help people engage especially in early dispute resolution. Courts are now specifically referring parties to mediation even after proceedings have been commenced to help people narrow the issues in dispute saving them time and money.

I commit to working with clients to understand their needs and creating an environment where they feel they come prepared for mediation, with all of the information they need to be in a position to make the best use of their time and are empowered to make decisions so they can move on with their life sooner.
