Experience

I have been a self-employed family law attorney in St. Paul since 1985, a family mediator since 1993, and am now a collaborative attorney. My work focuses exclusively on helping people resolve family law issues.

In 1997, I co-founded Family Matters, Ltd., (See family-matters.com) an interdisciplinary group of professionals who work together in helping clients resolve their cases with respect and care for each other and for all family members.

Education

B.S. cum laude, Univ. of Wisconsin-River Falls, Economics & Business, 1975; J.D. cum laude, Wm. Mitchell College of Law, January 1985. Certified Family Mediation Training 1993 & 1997. 32 hours of Collaborative Law Training.

Approach

As a grandmother, I understand the needs and vulnerabilities of children. I believe that non-violent solutions exist for all disputes, including global and family ones. I believe most people want to resolve family issues with respect and fairness and can do so if the professionals involved support them in this. My work has confirmed this belief. I have a special interest in cases in which people want to resolve issues respectfully but face barriers such as past abuse, chemical dependency, power imbalances, or other issues that make peaceful resolution more problematic.

Office & Hours

My office is 4 miles from downtown St. Paul and 8 miles from downtown Mpls. I offer flexible hours.
