I am a divorcee. I am a mother. I am a lover and a seeker of undefended truth and deep connection.
I am also a Family Mediator and Divorce Guide who has helped countless individuals and couples navigate all aspects of their unique divorce process.
I am a lawyer, with an M.B.A., and come ready to support the emotional, logistical, and financial aspects of your separation.
I have seen all the ways this chapter can unfold and hold each one as a sacred opportunity to reclaim parts of yourself long forgotten.
What do I do? What will it feel like? How will I find my way afterward?
Have you recently left or are you contemplating leaving your relationship? Are you wondering about the whats and hows?
Through Individual Guidance, Group Support, or Mediation we will work together to make the best, most sustainable decisions for you and your family.

Addressing the logistics will help put your mind at ease and allow us to bring awareness to the deeper parts of your emotional process.

FAMILY MEDIATION...
Complete an entire divorce without the pain or cost of going to court
As a Mediator, I serve as a neutral third party helping couples resolve a wide range of family issues without resorting to litigation
Reasons to Mediate
It is cost-effective and time efficient
The parties, not a judge, retain control to create sustainable agreements that fit their unique set of needs
A third-party neutral is there to bridge communication and interrupt relational patterns
When parties sucessfully mediate, they often have an easier time commuicating and coming to agreements in the future
It benefits the children when parties resolve conflict in a dignified and time effective manner
The process is confidential
