About Me

My journey has taken me from the practice of law to conciliation and coaching - supporting people as they learn to work in the world with their true selves and others.  Today I help people as individuals and in families and small businesses, confront difficult challenges and move forward to achieve lasting and positive change.

I began my career as a lawyer focusing on divorce and employment disputes.  My experience covered a wide range of personal and professional relationships.  As an attorney I set state and national precedents and argued and won a case before the United States Supreme Court.  I received my law degree and a Masters Degree in Health Law from DePaul College of Law.  I have many certifications in mediation (for example, from Mediation and Conflict Management Services of Portland, Oregon - ICLEF approved, Mediation Training and Consultation Institute of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Federal Court - Fort Wayne, Indiana).

I received the national Athena Award given by the Michigan City Area Chamber of Commerce for business achievement, community service, and leadership development.  Some of the work that has been most rewarding has been the volunteer work I have done in the communities in which I lived. Some highlights:

• Gateway Foundation, Inc.

• Illinois Human Rights Commission

• Michigan City Area Schools

• National Advisory Council on Women’s Educational Programs

• Rotary Club of Michigan City

• Michigan City Area Chamber of Commerce
