Your future is our vision

Insight.  Collaboration.  Breakthrough.  It starts there. It ends there. 

Which is why I enjoy what I do. 

I’ve been mediating disputes between separated and divorced couples for more than 7 years, and resolving high conflict disputes over custody for more than 17 years. Every separation, every divorce is unique. But there’s something I’ve observed that they all have pretty much in common: both parties within the conflict assume that the party on the other side of the table is 100 percent WRONG. Guess what? Everyone who has thought that way is wrong. With my style of discovery and understanding, the veil is lifted and different perspectives are brought to the table. With the veil lifted, resolution is all but assured.

Yes. 

We’re going for ‘Yes.’ When you enter into what is well within the top 5% of the most difficult, emotionally traumatizing encounters of your life (somewhere between walking barefoot across hot coals and cordless bungee jumping), you need to know, you need to be confident that ‘Yes’ is, in fact, an achievable outcome.  I’m here to assure you that ‘Yes’ IS an achievable outcome. 

Why do I do what I do? Think about it. Why would anyone want to drop into a high conflict, at times, near warlike confrontation when there are so many other occupations that are far less stressful? It’s an easy answer (for me): I know the pain firsthand. And I have heard the stories that painfully capture how much more pain can inadvertently develop when a Mediator gets it wrong. I don’t let that happen on my watch. Because whether you’re a recent divorcee, a single parent who wants to play a direct role in parenting one or more children, or you just want out and be clear and free, you will benefit from a professional who you can rely on to achieve a win-win (or, in the case of ex-couples with children, a win-win-win) outcome.

That outcome begins and ends with ‘Insight,’ ‘Collaboration,’ and ultimately, ‘Breakthrough.’ Three words that, when a pro-Mediator steps in, are guaranteed to reduce the pain, vanquish the fear, and give you and your Ex bankable hope that your life doesn’t end with a breakup.
