About Liz

After witnessing my parents’ traumatic divorce, I turned that experience into my life's mission; to prevent this unnecessary pain from happening to other families.

As an attorney, I embrace mediation and the collaborative divorce model. I dedicate my services to assisting individuals who are going through family issues or divorce, to do so in a respectful way. For over 20 years I have worked with women with developmental disabilities, supporting them on their path toward independence while teaching coping techniques for resolving disputes. Working as a legal educator with the non-profit, Family Kind, I have been instrumental in enlightening parents about effective co-parenting techniques, even after the dissolution of the marriage.   

I am the proud founder and President of the Long Island Collaborative Divorce Professionals group, a coalition of interdisciplinary experts who are all dedicated to serving Long Island families in supportive, dignified and confidential ways during times of family crisis.

I am committed to my mission of empowering families who are in conflict, to find a better path forward.
