I focus exclusively on family law and am passionate about getting my clients the best possible outcomes. I am well-versed in all aspects of family law, including high-asset divorce, amicable divorce, contested divorce, child custody, spousal maintenance/alimony, common law marriage, and post-decree issues.

One of my great strengths is in litigation. If your divorce is going to trial, I am one of the most experienced courtroom lawyers in family law in Colorado. I spent the first decade of my career practicing criminal law and took over 80 cases to trial.

Divorce can be a very contentious and life-changing event. I fight for my clients with expertise and compassion.

Besides being a passionate family law attorney, I am highly accomplished rock climber who made a rare first female free ascent of El Capitan. My husband and I love to cook and entertain.
