Are you looking for a divorce mediator? Or an elder mediator?

Then you have come to the right place. I am a family mediator working with divorcing spouses and I also work with families and their elders. I am both an attorney and a social worker. When I mediate, I am in the role of a third-party neutral who facilitates the conversation. I do not take sides. I do not give legal advice.

As a divorce mediator, I help spouses in conflict:

• To have a comfortable environment in which to meet;

• To have the "difficult conversations" they need to have to resolve their issues;

• To find money-saving resources, such as Nolo Press books, so they can prepare, file and serve the mandatory court documents;

• To complete their divorce, whether they're at the beginning, middle or end of the process.

As an elder mediator, I help families with elders:

• To have a comfortable environment in which to meet;

• To have the "difficult conversations" they need to have to resolve their issues which may include housing, medical concerns, safety, driving, new spouses, conflicts over estate matters, and any other issues involving the well-being of the elder, his/her caretakers, and his/her family;

• To find money-saving resources in the community to meet the elder's needs such as geriatric care managers, housing specialists, dementia specialists, in-home caregivers, estate and trust attorneys.
