MEDIATOR
As a professional neutral, I facilitate conversations to help participants keep as calm and productive as possible. I've been a trained mediator for over 10 years handling various styles of civil, commercial and domestic relations cases. I am an associate mediator with the Civil Mediation Council registered in workplace and civil and commercial mediation. I have experience in community mediation and it is also close to my heart.

PROFESSIONAL
I am a licensed lawyer/ solicitor able to practice and regulated in both the US and the UK. As a neutral I do not give legal advice or information. My background helps me understand and facilitate meaningful agreements. Discretion and confidentiality have always been a part of what I do. I take my neutrality very seriously and pursue continuing education on a continuous basis. I mediate because I prefer collaboration to litigation. Because the legal world can be cumbersome and inaccessible for many, I train to empower individuals to to create their own best solutions.

TRAINER
My style of training is casual, hands on and interactive. Conflict resolution skills training allows you to leave with practical skills you can implement right away and practice daily. My history of training people started at one of my first jobs as a student at university teaching adult literacy. Since that time I have taught probation officers, accountability court stakeholders, domestic violence intervention volunteers, university level business law and conflict resolution skills to individuals as well as organizations.
MY FOCUS
EMPOWERMENT
My passion for conflict resolution emerged while working for the courts. Day in and day out people fighting over something, anything and resolutions being forced, limited or both. So often people leave a court case, after having spent years getting there, unsatisfied and no better off than they were to begin with, sometimes worse. Mediation provides a method to empower people to take their outcomes into their own hands. And why should the conflict resolution skills only be utilized by the mediators and lawyers? They shouldn't. Everyone should have the skills to create their own outcomes in life. Sometimes you can and should ask for help, but the decisions should always be yours.
