Modern Lawyer
Stephanie’s approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves compassion, clarity, and support, especially during times of personal change. Before joining FGD, she worked as a government lawyer, managing complex matters involving vulnerable individuals and navigating challenging statutory frameworks. Her calm, empathetic style was shaped by years of working with students affected by family violence, illness, and hardship. Stephanie is known for her clear and considered communication, collaborative mindset, and ability to hold space for people when it matters most. She transitioned into private practice to focus on guiding people through significant life moments with care and integrity.
Real Person
Stephanie is a certified Pilates instructor. She is still a great communicator—but her clients often curse her name while she makes them “pulse it out for 10.” A devoted cat mum to two perfect (and very much in charge) felines, Stephanie also has a deep love for dessert and is on a lifelong hunt for the best tiramisu in town. She has a soft spot for a good TV binge—The Sopranos, Seinfeld and Shrek 1,2 and 3 are always in the rotation, ideally paired with something sweet.
