“I was drawn to family law after witnessing the emotional and financial toll of contested divorces on people close to me. That personal experience shaped my belief that divorce doesn’t have to be destructive — and it inspired my commitment to helping clients navigate separation with dignity, respect, and a clear path forward.

Early in my career, I focused on divorce and family law, becoming a strong advocate for amicable resolutions through negotiation, mediation, and collaborative law. I have been active on local community Collaborative Law Association Boards and serve as a board member for the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation, where I work to promote healthier, more constructive approaches to family restructuring.

As I guided clients through divorce, I saw how often people were left unprepared for what comes next — particularly when it came to protecting their assets and updating their estate plans. That realization led me to expand my practice to include estate planning, where I help individuals and families create thoughtful, effective plans using wills, trusts and sophisticated estate planning techniques to address Medicaid and high-asset tax planning.

Whether I’m helping someone through divorce or planning for the future, I approach each case with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to practical, long-term solutions. I believe legal guidance should be empowering, and I’m passionate about educating the community on the tools and benefits of proactive estate planning.”
