When it's time to make tough decisions, I am dedicated to helping you make them with dignity.

Collaborative Law: If you have legal issues but do not want to go to court, I can provide Collaborative Law representation. Collaborative Law is a no-court process that uses a team approach to reach mutually acceptable settlements. See for more information.
I became a lawyer because of my desire to seek justice for those who need it. I have lived in Bellingham, Washington since 1995. In 1997 graduated from Western Washington University with a B.A. degree in Anthropology. After college, I spent many years working and volunteering as a community advocate for the disadvantaged. This work inspired my decision to attend the University of Washington School of Law and I received a Juris Doctor degree in 2003. I worked for the Whatcom County Public Defender before going into private practice.

Helped me through a difficult time.
After being surprised by a petition for divorce I went to Kathryn for advice. I felt very comfortable with her from the beginning.
