We offer our creative ability and caring support to manage the mediation process. It is our priority to help each of you feel safe and empowered as the two of you work out the equitable terms of your separation or divorce.

Of course, all decisions must be guided by legal guidelines and boundaries, but there is a lot of latitude for us to work in. More importantly, we are aware of the emotional impact of the divorce, and we strive to minimize your stress in making those tough decisions.

We prefer to have an informal yet structured environment for the mediation sessions. It is not a legalistic process, but one of negotiation with compassion.
