LAWYER (she/her)

Natasha was born and raised in Vancouver and attended law school at the University of Alberta. 

Natasha has practiced family law exclusively since she was called to the bar in British Columbia in 2011. 

Natasha has expertise in the negotiation, litigation, and resolution of all aspects of family law.  She has represented and advised clients regarding divorce, parenting issues, child and spousal support, division of family property and debt, separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, and marriage agreements. 

Natasha has a special passion for issues surrounding children, parenting issues and the welfare of children in general.  Natasha strongly believes that children deserve a voice in family law matters and that their views should be heard.

As counsel, Natasha has considerable experience inside the courtroom.  She has appeared before the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia many times whether through trial, chambers applications, judicial case conferences.

She is a fierce advocate for her clients in the courtroom but also understands the value in resolving matters outside of court.  Natasha is confident and unremitting in the energy behind her advocacy when she believes in a position, but is also able to empathize and understand the position of the other party. Natasha approaches her cases with the aim to treat clients and opposing parties with respect and for matters to be resolved in an amicable, timely and cost-effective manner.

Outside of work, Natasha enjoys hiking, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
