How does mediation work? Mediation is a private, comparatively informal method of professionally settling disputes. As the mediator, I am a neutral facilitator trained to assist you in creating a positive environment and conceptual framework within which you communicate about your dispute.

I will assist you in the following areas.

  • creating greater understanding
  • exploring tangible solutions to problems
  • structuring a positive resolution including measurable outcomes and verifiable accountability

My goal is to help you reach a voluntary and mutually satisfying resolution at minimum cost in money, time and emotional expense. My expertise is offered to all those in California, including San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
