From my background of working with families in the health arena I bring my knowledge of families, family violence and children's development to my work as both a family lawyer and FDRP. I believe all children need safety and certainty in their lives - even when their parents may no longer be together as a couple. My post-graduate studies in child devleopment combined with my Masters in Counselling mean I am well-placed to assist families through allowing their children to be heard. I firmly beleive that while the focus may be onhte children, the adults must have support and their needs acknowledged.
