I am a Family Lawyer based on the North Shore, Auckland. I deal with parenting matters, guardianship issues, family violence, adoption, and Oranga Tamariki cases.

My expertise lies in cases involving Oranga Tamariki. I was the Regional Legal Manager for South Auckland prior to becoming a barrister and have specialist knowledge and insight into the Oranga Tamariki Act and this complex legal process.

I have experience with cases of wardship, expert psychological evidence, psychological issues within families such as push-pull dynamic & psychological abuse. I have also worked in child abuse cases involving Fictitious Disorder (FD) and FD by Proxy (Munchausen syndrome), as well as low IQ, serious parental addiction issues, diagnosed mental illness and capacity issues.
