I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1984 and my Juris Doctor in 1990, and I have been practicing family mediation since 1986 and family law since 1991 in Arlington, Virginia. I worked as a family law attorney and mediator at two law firms for the first thirteen years of my legal career, prior to establishing my own practice in 2004 that focuses on collaborative solutions for separation, divorce and other family law matters.
