I am passionate about working with people who want to make the commitment to resolve their separation in a conscious, negotiated manner.  I limit my practice to supported negotiations, mediation and collaborative practice.  I was a founding member of the Vancouver Collaborative Divorce Group, and was the first co-chair with Dr. Susan Gamache.

I have been a member of  the Board of Directors of the International Academy of Collaborative Practitioners from 2005-2010, and was the President in 2009.  I have led and designed training in collaborative process, and have been a speaker and trainer in the area of collaborative practice and dispute resolution to groups across Canada, the United States, Hong Kong, Australia and Europe.  I was an adjunct professor teaching a course in Collaborative Practice at the University of British Columbia Law School for three years, and have written a book on interdisciplinary collaborative practice, titled: Collaborative Practice: Deepening the Dialogue.  I was one of the lawyers featured in the 2009 CBC Documentary, How To Divorce and Not Wreck the Kids, and work closely with clients to support them through the transition of restructuring their family.
