I am an attorney mediator, dedicated to working collaboratively with individuals to find practical and creative solutions to difficult problems. I bring analytical, compassionate, and practical problem solving skills to assist the parties (and their lawyers, if they are participating) in reaching an equitable, workable, and mutually-agreeable resolution of their issues. My mediation practice includes family law, custody, business, health care issues, employment, elder law, contract disputes, and other legal topics.
