I have practiced family law for 26 years and hold a Master of Laws Degree in Alternative Dispute Resolution, with an emphasis in mediation. I take a practical, positive approach to dispute resolution that helps heal conflict and build healthy post-separation relationships.
I have extensive experience in all levels of court, and it’s because of this experience that I am focusing on mediation services. I know how negatively the court process can affect a family undergoing separation—and I’ve seen the significant benefits of open, respectful dialogue and creative problem-solving.
I am a member of Family Mediation Canada and the Ontario Association for Family Mediation. I have lectured on family law both to lawyers and to mediators and have taught Alternative Dispute Resolution - Negotiation, Mediation and Arbitration at Humber College in Toronto.
I have also, been appointed to represent children in legal proceedings before the courts as an agent of the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
