A Bay Area native, Chelsea has always been committed to making a difference in the local community. Family law has provided her the avenue to help families in transition, while maintaining civility and focus on issues that truly matter.

Chelsea attended Archbishop Mitty High School. Chelsea graduated Cum Laude and received her Bachelor’s Degree from Saint Leo University in St. Leo, Florida, which she attended on a volleyball scholarship. She returned to the Bay Area for law school and graduated with her Juris Doctor Degree from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2015. Fun Fact: She met Emily Hepner in law school!

Chelsea is committed to focusing her professional energy on educating people that there are better ways to navigate divorce without the expense and stress of traditional divorce litigation.  She is a constant student; reading books, listening to podcasts, and investing in training focused on how to make the divorce world more amicable for her clients.

If you walked up to her and asked her what she is professionally passionate about right now, she would talk your ear off about the importance of premarital planning and premarital agreements. She is a romantic at heart who wants people to have hard conversations before they say “I Do.”

In her spare time, Chelsea loves spending time with her husband and daughter.  They are passionate about traveling and trying new things as a family. She loves to challenge herself with tough workouts and is a proud F45 member!
