Thank you for joining me in this virtual space. I am so happy to connect and share some information about myself.

If you are here at my website you are probably considering mediation training. Or you would like support in navigating a conflict or challenging relationship. As a trainer and as a mediator I bring an intuitive and empathic style to my work. I support individuals to access their innate knowledge and expertise, while also sharing my own knowledge, wisdom, and perspective gained over the past 25 years of mediation practice and living life with a mediator’s mindset.

As a mediator I’ve always been enamored by the principal of Self-Determination.

The magic of individuals tapping into their sense of agency and finding constructive and satisfying outcomes through conflict. It is this guiding principal that informs my work the most. As a mediator, facilitator, trainer, consultant, and as a parent. 

In my professional life I have a strong track record of leaving things better than they were when I arrived. One of my superpowers is synthesizing complex information, and translating complex issues into tangible, understandable action items. As a manager and non-profit director I’ve built a legacy of operational systems that improve organizational performance.

People who have worked with me often comment on how the experience exceeded their expectations. They comment on my ability to communicate complex ideas in comprehensible ways, my strong organization skills, my warmth, energy, and engagement.

For over ten years I have been providing Basic Mediation Training for a variety of audiences and am certified as an Initial Mediation Trainer by the New York State Unified Court System Office of ADR and Court Improvement Programs for both the Community Dispute Resolution Centers Program and Part 146.

 If you have any questions about my previous professional experience, or would like to discuss ways to work together, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to connect.
