How we will work together
I bring a dynamic, candid and clarifying presence that propels individuals navigating complex life transitions into their best possible future. Our work together helps all involved to:
Clarify their values and vision for their life and key relationship
Improve their emotional regulation and self-awareness
Master the process of agreement making
Prepare thoughtfully for negotiation, mediation, or co-parenting conversations
Avoid destructive conflict cycles
Make sustainable, self-honoring decisions
I orient our focus towards collaboration and context. I don’t see conflict as something that exists in isolation—and I don’t approach resolution as a one-size-fits-all solution. That being said: mediation and conscious uncoupling sessions follow a structure that keeps everyone clear, aware and moving forward toward common goals.
Everything I do is grounded in the broader landscape of each client’s life. Outside of our sessions, I actively coordinate with lawyers, educators, therapists, coaches, and other support professionals. Clients get connected into a web of care—ensuring that the resources around them are aligned, responsive, and tailored to their unique needs. Whether it’s through direct support or finding you with the right therapist, legal advocate, educator, or other specialist, I offer personalized guidance to ensure you’re getting exactly what you need—when you need it most (and not anything you don’t).
Working together means gaining not only clarity in the moment, and access to a deeper, enriched support system that fosters long-term growth, healing, and forward movement.
My Approach
With over 25 years of experience as a leadership psychologist, organizational development expert and relational coach, I bring both clinical expertise and a deep commitment to human connection. Drawing on a unique background in parenting, psychology, and organizational leadership, my strength lies in creating the necessary conditions for change, and making high-stakes decisions with clarity, integrity, and resilience.
At the core of my work is a simple belief: even in conflict, most people want to act with integrity. We want to honor ourselves without causing harm to others. Yet under stress, our ability to think clearly, communicate effectively, and make wise decisions often breaks down. That’s where I come in.
As a mediator, I help create the conditions for constructive, truthful conversations that lead to meaningful, lasting agreements. Most adults—and even experienced leaders—aren’t taught how to craft agreements that support both individual needs and group wellbeing. In mediation, we don’t just focus on what the agreement is—we also explore how it’s made, ensuring both parties understand the relational and practical dynamics that support sustainable outcomes.
When mediation isn’t the right fit, or when deeper personal clarity or relational repair is needed, conflict coaching provides one-on-one support. Through coaching, clients reconnect with their core values, work through past wounds, and begin to shift patterns—especially important in ongoing dynamics like co-parenting.
My goal is to strengthen our collective relational capacity and resolve the roadblocks that interfere with our compassion and self-respect.
