At the end of a relationship, it can feel like you are not being heard. As family law attorneys, we listen and help clients move forward. What motivates me most is knowing that the better I do my job, the better the lives and co-parenting experiences of my clients can become.

In law school, my interest in working directly with individuals began through an internship with a nonprofit focused on food and housing security for low-income and underrepresented communities in upstate New York.

After law school, I worked at a personal injury law firm in Denver, advocating for people who had been injured and helping them navigate an unfair system. I took pride in standing up to insurance companies that often viewed people as statistics rather than individuals.

That experience solidified my desire to work with and for people, not corporations. My transition into family law was driven by a desire to help individuals facing real-world, deeply personal challenges. In family law cases, much like in personal injury matters, I often see people focused on blame, how life used to be, and why things will never feel the same again. By taking the time to listen, I help clients reposition themselves toward their new realities and future possibilities.

My role as a family law attorney means helping people close one chapter of their lives and begin another. Throughout the difficult process of divorce and family transition, I strive to keep clients focused on the future.

Before joining DuBois Levias, I found myself increasingly impressed by the firm’s approach to practicing law. DuBois Levias genuinely cares about the health and well-being of its people and values work-life balance. It is a place where I can continue to grow while being part of a talented and supportive team.

I was raised in Mill Creek, just north of Seattle. Before law school, I double majored in history and philosophy at Washington State University. I practiced law in Denver and New York for approximately eight years before returning to Seattle in 2019.

I love the Pacific Northwest—the water, the mountains, and the forests—and I am grateful to be home. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, kayaking, snowboarding, golfing, and spending time with family and friends.
