Mediator’s Comments:
“Through my experience working with families and organizations in crisis, I have become a tireless advocate of creative, alternative ways to understand, work through and make conflict positive. My goal is to reduce stress for my clients and make it easier for them to work through the seemingly overwhelming challenges and move forward. I do this by providing a professional, friendly, convenient, encouraging and flexible process. (I am even comfortable with distance mediation via video conferencing and shuttle mediation for difficult conflict.) I have a great deal of respect for their hard work and I want them to feel encouraged about what lies ahead.”
