From Therapist To Mediator.

Why Mediation?

I like to think that we all evolve into areas that are natural for us. My work with couples over the last six years as a couples counselor was one of those natural evolutions. With my work, I have found that many couples; even with therapy, aren’t able to salvage the relationship. I was already working as a pre-marital couples counselor and saw a lot of couples turn things around. A percentage of them headed for divorce. And to keep it real, I have personal experience with divorce and mediation. I remember how frightened and unprepared I was walking into mediation. I didn’t know what to expect and my attorney’s strong suit was in the courtroom that I was trying to avoid. Needless to say, mediation was unsuccessful and an expensive litigation was inevitable.

Many people experience the feeling of just wanting to “get it over with” and lose out on the things they actually wanted and didn’t know how to ask for. I want to prevent that as much as possible. Although I am a neutral third part mediator, I have a unique position in understanding the psychological components in relationship dynamics. I will not be your therapist in the mediation room no more than an attorney can be legal representation, but you can trust that my expertise helps me expertly address the barriers that tend to halt the mediation process.

I am happy to embark upon this journey as a certified Civil and Family Mediator specializing in Divorce. It’s what I do best, helping people gain clarity around decision-making. I have created a prep guide and coaching opportunity for those who wants to know how to have a successful mediation that won’t waste your time or money. If you don’t want to go to court, your first step is a conversation with me. Don’t wait to book your consultation.
