		In my practice of over 26 years as an attorney and mediator, I have dedicated my work to helping children and parents navigate through the legal system, overcome family traumas of abuse, neglect, abandonment or divorce and to help them rebuild their lives. The children and parents with whom I have the privilege of working have shown me by their willingness to open up and share their stories the courage required to grow despite adversity. They have taught me that when we open our hearts and minds’, hear the stories of each other, we can discover more possibility for growth within ourselves. Where there is gratitude we are able to encourage one another to be brave, to experience more compassion, learn to communicate better and overcome our conflicts with one another. When we experience gratitude we have the power, courage and compassion to make new choices, once choice at a time.
