Barrister.

seeing the whole to solve the parts.
I practice law differently.
My legal journey began with completing my LLB and developing a deeper understanding of not only the law, but the people navigating it. Over the years, I have pursued specialized training in complex trauma, conflict, and the way the brain responds under stress. I have also explored mindfulness and self-awareness through experiences such as a 10-day Vipassana silent retreat, which shaped the way I approach advocacy, communication, and client care.
From the very beginning of my career, I made a commitment, that every client who walks through my door would feel safe, heard, and supported throughout their legal journey. I understand that complex trauma physically changes the brain. It affects memory, decision making, and the ability to process information clearly.
When your nervous system is in survival mode, navigating the legal system can feel impossible. Gestalt Law is built around around a simple but powerful understanding: that your brain under stress needs structure, clarity, and a regulated environment to make sound decisions for your future.
I work closely with social workers, therapists, and mental health professionals to ensure my clients receive care that goes far beyond the courtroom. My goal is to empower you to move forward; safely, clearly, and on your own terms.
