I grew up in a small farming town in Wisconsin.  Through marriage to a military person, I landed in Virginia.  I obtained my undergraduate education at Old Dominion University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science.  I majored in Finance and Economics.  I went on to attend law school at Regent University of Law.  I have four children and reside in beautiful Williamsburg.  I own two little designer dogs (Brussels Griffons) and a Ragdoll cat.  

Having been through a difficult divorce, including the division of military retirement, I understand the challenging time folks encounter going through a divorce, particularly when there are children involved.  I offer a unique compassion for my clients due to my own life experiences.
