Together we will work toward an amicable settlement not “victory and defeat.” 

"I have always believed that the best solutions are those solutions that the parties determine for themselves...not their attorneys....not a judge.  With the guidance of a mediator, most if not all parties are able to resolve all their issues, whether financial or parenting, with the mediator's assistance and at the pace of the parties".

VISION

The goal is an amicable settlement

not “victory and defeat.”

Couples avoid the adversarial approach often prematurely brought on by unnecessary paperwork, orders, and depositions that might drive the parties apart.  Instead, I work collaboratively with both parties so that any agreements will ultimately be workable for both.  This is truly most crucial where children are involved.  The ability to learn communication skills and work amicably together assists the parties in the future especially to the ultimate benefit of their continued relationship as parents and in regard to the continued mutual care for their children.
