Family Law

Description
I’m a lawyer, mediator and legal coach based in Victoria, BC, practicing exclusively in the area of family law. I help clients with their family law issues all over British Columbia.

If you are involved in a family law dispute, you know that it can be an incredibly emotional and stressful time. I take an empathetic and resolution-focused approach and pride myself on providing my clients with solid advice, options and solutions.

My goal is to empower my clients to make informed decisions about their future and the future of their families. Through open communication and a client-centric approach, I strive to create an environment where my clients feel supported and guided throughout the entire legal process.

I feel strongly that the majority of family matters are best resolved through out of court options and my practice is focused on reaching agreement through negotiation, mediation and collaborative divorce.

My goal is to help you move beyond your separation. Together we can create a plan for the path forward.

I grew up in Victoria, BC and obtained a Bachelor of Commerce with distinction from Royal Roads University in 2010. I attended law school at the University of British Columbia, where I completed my legal studies in 2016. After I completed my articles at a medium sized firm in the Fraser Valley, I practiced with their family law group for four years. In 2021 I moved back to Victoria to establish Align Family Law.
