About Me

I received my Juris Doctorate from the University of Wisconsin in December 2005 and was admitted to practice law in the State of Oklahoma in 2006. I was admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma in 2006 and have practiced in both state and federal courts in Tulsa since that time. I was admitted to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2023.  I am trained as a mediator and in Collaborative Family Law, and served on the Board of Directors for the Oklahoma Academy of Collaborative Professionals for more than a decade.

My practice also focuses on estate planning and probate, and I am a member of the Tulsa County Bar Association's and the Oklahoma Bar Association's Estate Planning and Probate Sections.  I pride myself on my relationship with my clients and enjoy working together to ensure that their wishes are understood and that we prepare for as many contingencies as possible.

I have dedicated a significant portion of my practice to my LGBTQ+ clients, and am an active member of the Equality Business Alliance.  I have previously served on the Board of Advisors at Oklahomans for Equality and I was the first Oklahoman to be a member of the Family Law Institute, a joint venture of the LGBT Bar and the National Center for Lesbian Rights that allows experienced LGBTQ+ family law practitioners to share collective wisdom and to discuss cutting-edge legal strategies for representing members of the LGBT community. 

I have previously served on the Board of Directors for the Tulsa County Bar Association as the Chair of the Lawyer Referral and Information Service Committee and continue to serve on the LRIS Committee.  

I grew up in Tulsa, graduating from Booker T. Washington before slowly heading north.  I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas and spend each March cheering on the Jayhawks, who always win in my brackets (I, perhaps not coincidentally, always lose the bracket pool).  I returned to Tulsa after law school and met my husband here.  We have an elementary-aged daughter, a cat, and a dog.  From what I can remember, back when I had free time I enjoyed reading, knitting, and sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and good friends.
