I’m a peacemaking attorney and mediator in Indiana with a background in family law litigation and child welfare defense, including CHINS and TPR cases. Years in adversarial courtrooms showed me both the power and the limits of the legal system, especially for families and children. I now focus on mediation, collaborative practice, and limited-scope legal services that reduce harm while preserving clarity and accountability. As a member of the Indiana Association of Mediators, I’m committed to expanding access to mediation and advancing practical, humane approaches to resolving conflict.
