    I have worked primarily with families in transition for more than 15 years as a mediator, and for the past 5 years also as a Collaborative Lawyer. My main goal is to help couples and families experiencing divorce, separation and/or parenting problems resolve their disputes in a non-adversarial manner while maintaining focus on the wellbeing of children and on preserving relationships.
