Mediation
Mediation allows parties to reach best-case strategies/scenarios on their own with the expertise of a neutral third party qualified mediator. I will help you in exhausting the conflict, anger, and the unknowns through exploring your interests and considering all options and resolutions to encompass all parties. Also, my non-judgemental and confidential closed mediation provides you with a safe venue to get to the heart of matters and to be heard.
Mediation is cost effective and efficient in resolving many types of disputes such as divorce, relationship issues, and employment disagreements. It is proven that parties coming to a mutually decided solution tend to honour their chosen path.
Through this process I will be dedicated in supporting and guiding you to ensure best possible outcomes while easing anxiety and helping you deal with any other issues standing in your way of success.

Coaching / Divorce Zen
A divorce is never easy or pre-planned and causes a roller coaster of emotions, demands on time/finances and creates confusion, but nobody says you have to do it alone! I can offer you personal support every step of the way by helping you manage your emotions and coordinate your divorce with a sense of direction and clarity. This will put you in a position of growth and focus to explore the best available options to encompass your needs and wants while in a safe, non-judgemental environment to speak your mind freely.
One of the many ways I can offer my expertise is by educating you on the divorce process, communication methods (to respond instead of react) to ease conflict, coordinate your plans or find resources. I will also aid in easing the stress and anxiety that divorce can create on you and those close to you while establishing a creative and more positive outlook on your current situation and future goals.
Although divorce may not have been your choice the future is still something that is in your control along with your reactions and thoughts. I know, I have been there and with my expertise, practical experience and compassion I want to help you through to ensure the best possible you!
Consulting
One on one consulting be applied on a person who cannot work on an agreement with their partner directly or together. I will empower you to examine positional strategies, analysis and conflict potentials and power imbalances. I shall assist you in being empowered and keep the process driving forward through properly managing and, coordinating your process and any other specialists that may be needed or are currently retained.
Also, I can aid in the transitioning such as returning to the workplace, co-parenting and reintegrating as a single person into social, family and extended family circles. A divorce can also allow you to grow individually, set goals for the future and establish and build on other relationships. This is a great time to utilize coaching, mentoring and consulting to get through and feelings of isolation and sadness. I have also done supervised access and parenting coaching enabling parents to continue on with and build their parent child relationship. Children are resilient and can easily thrive if they are kept out of the adult conflict and issues.
