I have been a resident of the Wabash Valley since 1987.  I graduated cum laude (with honors) from Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington, Indiana in 1997, and became a member of the Indiana Bar that same year.

Upon graduation, I embarked on a career in trust and finance, administering complex legal and financial issues for trust companies, banks and a brokerage house, and served as the head of a trust department.

As much as I enjoyed my time in trust and finance, I wanted to be in the courtroom, so I accepted a position as a Deputy Prosecutor for Child Support, where I  routinely attended 80 - 100 hearings per week.

Due to my thorough preparation and aggressive representation, child support collections increased by 9% in the last nine months of my tenure at the Prosecutor's Office, which was double the state average for the same time period.

In 2004, I became a registered Family Law Mediator and opened my own law office.  I specialize in family law matters such as Divorce, Child Custody, Parenting Time, Child Support, Paternity, Adoption, Grandparent Visitation, Guardianships and Mediation.

I am a member in good standing of the Indiana State Bar, and  of the Family Law Section.

I am a Registered Family Law Mediator and the President of the Dispute Resolution Center for the Wabash Valley.  In my practice, I have found that many family law matters are more effectively resolved through the use of mediation.
