When children are involved, relationships don’t end; they evolve. We create a safe, cooperative environment where open and honest dialogue is encouraged as you work through your arrangements. As neutral mediators, we’ll assist you in identifying key issues, understanding underlying concerns, and helping you explore solutions while maintaining balance. Our role is to support you in creating clear, positive plans and developing conflict-resolution skills. These skills are not only essential during our sessions but will also empower you to navigate your new life and family structure with dignity, confidence, and effectiveness long after your agreement is finalized.

Each person shares their perspective on the issue and suggests possible solutions. The mediators guide the conversation to ensure both parties focus on the underlying problems, helping them find a practical and mutually agreeable resolution. If one party is a more dominant negotiator, mediation helps level the playing field. When emotions like hurt, fear, or anger arise, co-mediators address the needs behind those feelings, reframing the issue so the couple can work towards a solution that works for both. Mediation supports healing, encourages a focus on the future, and removes the need for aggressive negotiation tactics or legal games. It puts the well-being of the children first, considers the parties’ needs and interests (not just their positions), and ensures both parties have a voice throughout the process.

Our mediations are considered "closed," or "confidential." This means that, with a few exceptions, anything you say during the process cannot be used by you, your ex, or the mediators in court. However, the terms of any final, binding agreement you reach can be shared. We begin each session by introducing a mediation agreement between you, your ex, and our firm to ensure that everyone is clear on the ground rules and expectations.

Family mediation is a process that helps families reach agreements in a peaceful way. Through open communication and professional guidance, it provides a neutral space for resolving conflicts, allowing all parties to collaborate and find solutions that work for everyone​. ​ A family mediator won’t take sides. Instead, they guide both of you in reaching fair, mutually acceptable agreements on big issue.
