Domestic Relations & Civil Mediation
Calm, Fair, and Effective Resolution
Conflict does not have to define your future. Mediation offers a respectful, confidential, and cost-effective way to resolve disputes while preserving dignity, relationships, and control over outcomes. As a neutral mediator, I help individuals and families navigate difficult conversations and reach practical, durable agreements.
Domestic Relations Mediation
Domestic relations disputes are often emotionally charged and deeply personal. Mediation provides a structured, supportive environment where parties can be heard and empowered to make informed decisions.
Common matters include:
Divorce and separation
Parenting plans and time-sharing
Child support and spousal support
Property and debt division
Post-judgment modifications
Co-parenting and communication issues
My approach emphasizes the best interests of children, balanced negotiation, and solutions tailored to your family’s unique circumstances. Mediation allows parties
— not courts — to shape agreements that work in real life.
Civil Mediation
Civil disputes can disrupt businesses, strain relationships, and create unnecessary expense when left unresolved. Mediation offers a practical alternative to litigation, helping parties find common ground and avoid prolonged conflict.
Civil matters may include:
Contract and business disputes
Employment and workplace conflicts
Landlord–tenant issues
Neighbor and property disputes
Personal injury and small claims matters
Through guided negotiation and reality-based discussion, mediation often results in faster resolutions and greater satisfaction than traditional litigation.
Why Choose Mediation?
Confidential: Discussions remain private and protected.
Cost-Effective: Typically far less expensive than litigation.
Timely: Resolutions are reached in weeks, not years.
Voluntary & Empowering: Parties maintain control over outcomes.
Durable Agreements: Solutions created by the parties themselves are more likely to last.

My Commitment
As a mediator, I do not take sides or provide legal advice. My role is to:
