About Me

The field of divorce mediation is growing, which means you now have more mediators to choose from. So why choose me? My professional and personal experience contributes to my unique process and how I am able to care for you, your partner and children.

I ensure that the detailed steps are tended to and that all of the bases are covered so that you can rest assured this is an effective way to complete the negotiation process. 

 

Professional Experience

 

Personal Experience

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Boston University and a Master’s Degree from Southampton College.  My education provides me with the knowledge and tools needed to developed a detailed and well written MOU.  MOUs are more intricate than litigated divorce mediation.  My background in writing and tending to details provide you with a road map for your family’s future. 

I spent most of my life in the field of social work and college level education.Both professional experiences provided me with the heart and mind to gently care for the needs of others.I also worked as the Director of Grants which required attention to clearly defining detailed process and plans, often writing up to 300-page documents to ensure that the goals and wishes of my clients were clearly stated in each document. After my own mediated divorce, I decided to change careers because I am passionate about family.

 

I know what you are experiencing.  Just like you, I realized the time had come to alter my family construct so that we all could be living a happier lifestyle.  I wanted change, I wanted better.  But I also found myself terrified that my family was falling apart.  I worried about my kids.  I worried about my home. I worried about finances.  I worried about holding my family together when everything seemed to be falling apart.  Life seemed to be whirling all around me. 

My ex-husband and I did our due diligence, looking at divorce litigation, collaborative divorce, even do-it-yourself divorce.  Finally, we chose to use a divorce mediator.  The process was one we wanted for many reasons. Divorce mediation provides a neutral party who works in the best interest of the family as a whole. After experiencing how positive the experience was, I decided I wanted to guide families through the same process, and transform the industry.
