After practicing transactional and regulatory compliance counseling law for over 20 years at both a large international law firm and as a solo practitioner, I made the career shift and became a certified mediator as I both enjoy and have a talent for bringing opposing parties together. As an impartial facilitator, I will help you craft a fair and tailored resolution that is mutually beneficial - and importantly keeps this dispute out of court. 

Facilitating positive outcomes for individuals and businesses is an important part of my life. I am committed to helping people live their best lives: 

• My mediation practice allows me to bring closure and positive resolution to those experiencing conflict.

• As a business owner for over a decade, I understand that at the heart of every business deal is a relationship. Mediating disputes is an important option for commercial parties who may continue to have a business relationship after the dispute has been resolved. Reaching an agreement through mediation allows parties involved in ongoing contracts or projects to rebuild trust and thus continue to work together.

• As a Pilates instructor I focus on encouraging my students to be present, mindful and aware of their emotions.  

• Through my active volunteer roles in various nonprofits, I find gratification in making a positive impact on people’s lives.

• Leadership, fundraising and DEI training programs I was selected for and completed enhance my innovative and collaborative problem-solving skills; as a result, I am highly attuned to  apreciate different experiences and points of view and constructively shift the conversation to finding a common goal benefiting the parties.
