Moving clients towards resolution and emotional healing

My goal is to advise and counsel clients on the most efficient path towards resolution. I have a background in family law and understand the complexities involved in guiding clients through familial conflicts. I work with clients to explain the legal facets of their matter while being sensitive to the emotional aspects often involved in interpersonal disputes. With the resolution of legal matters, I hope to also help move my clients towards emotional healing and relief.
