I am dedicated to helping people resolve their family law problems, and to helping to provide peace of mind during one of the most difficult times in my client's lives.  I have earned the respect of clients and colleagues alike for my creative problem-solving, effective trial representation, and the informed, compassionate, and ethical approach I take to family law matters.

I have been honored to be named to the Virginia Super Lawyers list since 2014, and the Washington, D.C. Super Lawyers list since 2015. I have earned a 10.0/10.0 rating on Avvo.com.  I received the Martindale-Hubbell Client Distinction Award in 2015, and The National Advocates Top 100 in 2016.

I love educating clients and other attorneys about family law topics and frequently speak at seminars for people going through the separation process.

When I'm not working or serving on the board of a local gymnastics booster club, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children, and traveling with them to visit their grandparents in Minnesota and Lebanon.
