Private Mediation and Conflict Coaching
Is there a conflict in your life that's keeping you up at night?
I am a mediator who specializes in working with families, friends, and colleagues to resolve their disputes. A neutral, third-party facilitator, who helps people in conflict resolve their disagreements with minimum pain and contentiousness.
Are you fighting with your siblings? Working on estate planning? Unraveling a business partnership? Navigating a bitter divorce? Trying to unify your family to take care of elderly parents? Is your daughter-in-law ruining your family? Are you and your teenager barely communicating? Are your in-laws straining your marriage? Are you no longer speaking to your sibling or best friend? Is planning a wedding turning into a nightmare? Is a fight within a family business about to ruin Thanksgiving?
Conflict is inevitable. What is not inevitable is having disputes that ruin families or valuable friendships.
I CAN HELP.
When complicated, emotionally charged conflicts arise, there is often not a clear path toward resolution. Calling a lawyer begins an adversarial, expensive process. Few therapists are trained in conflict resolution, and the same is true of most clergy.
Countless consultants are already dedicated to helping improve the functionality of a business. They are brought in to advise best practices, achieve specific goals, and offer guidance in turbulent times. But for most of us, our families and close friends are the key to our happiness. What happens when conflict interferes with a family’s ability to celebrate together, enjoy multi-generational gatherings, support one another, and in some cases work together?
I work with a limited number of committed individual clients and groups who are ready to have agency in their lives and look ahead to the future rather than focus on the past, no matter how antagonistic the situation.
