Guiding Families Through Conflict and Change

Divorce and family conflicts can be deeply emotional and overwhelming—but they don’t have to be destructive. Mediation offers a calm, structured way to resolve disputes while keeping control in your hands, not the court’s.

I help families and couples work through conflict and transition through divorce and family mediation, coaching, and consulting. Whether you’re navigating a separation, making parenting decisions, or addressing ongoing family tensions, my goal is to bring structure, understanding, and calm to what can often feel overwhelming.

Mediation offers a peaceful and collaborative alternative to the adversarial court process. As a neutral and compassionate mediator, I provide a safe space where each person can share their perspective, be heard, and explore solutions that meet everyone’s needs. Together, we work to create fair and lasting agreements around parenting, finances, communication, and the future.

In addition to mediation, I offer one-on-one coaching, family communication workshops, and consulting services to help individuals and families strengthen their ability to navigate change. Topics include:

• Improving communication and reducing conflict during separation

• Creating child-centered parenting plans

• Managing emotional triggers and building resilience

• Establishing healthy boundaries in co-parenting relationships

• Preparing for difficult family conversations

These services help families reduce stress, preserve dignity, and protect important relationships—especially those involving children. By focusing on communication and cooperation, you can make thoughtful decisions for your family’s future and move forward with greater peace and stability.

As a local and experienced mediator, I take pride in the capability to mediate either virtually or in-person for clients in Albany, Troy, Latham, NY, and the surrounding areas.
