Profile Introduction
I am a peacemaker at heart. That's why I chose "A Place For Peaceful Solutions" as the tag line for my Center for Divorce Mediation. My skills are in helping people see the global picture and in helping them see the gift they can give their children and themselves by solving their problems and disagreements reasonably and fairly.
Mediation and Collaborative Law are such positive tools when divorce is the only solution. both choices allow the parties to retain dignity and honesty and to separate their lives and their property without the emotional and financial trauma.
I welcome the opportunity to speak with prospective clients to explain their alternatives in divorce, to answer their questions about the divorce process, the law involved and the choices they have.
