Practice Description:
High-Quality Mediation Services for Families, Partners, and Relationships in Transition, including divorce, separation, parenting plans and custody, property and financial division.
Approach to Practice / Form of Mediation:
I offer individual, joint, group, and shuttle sessions, depending on individuals' comfort levels and possible safety concerns. I have the professional experience and skills necessary to assist parties in analyzing their unique circumstances and making informed decisions regarding best options for themselves and their children (if any) moving forward. Mutual agreements arrived at during sessions will be based on careful attention to each party's needs and interests, financial concerns, and life circumstances. All mediation communications remain confidential, ensuring you and your loved ones' privacy and the high-quality results you deserve. Divorce coaching and planning to preserve your dignity and security throughout the process and in the future.
