MEDIATION

Mediation for Divorce & Conflict Resolution in Seattle, WA

Creative, practical problem-solving

Not every divorcing couple needs legal representation—others already have representation but choose to engage in mediation so they can co-create agreements through collaboration, communication, and compassion.

As an experienced mediator, I offer insight and support to help you discover a path forward in your divorce. The goal of our work together is to create a binding legal agreement based on what you have determined will work best in your unique circumstances.

By exploring possibilities, considering new ideas, and developing a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and goals, mediation is a process that facilitates alignment around what will work best for your family moving forward.

Understanding, transparency, and respect.

Compassionate & Neutral Conflict Resolution

Mediation is a great option when what you really need is an informed, neutral third party to facilitate communication and negotiation when divorcing.

Mediation is right for you if:

  • You get along well and don’t want lawyers deciding things for you
  • You are committed to working together
  • You can communicate effectively with one another
  • You agree on a lot—but need help with the stickier elements

Legal processes can be difficult and confusing, and it’s not always clear what the best path forward is. If mediation sounds like it might be the right fit for you, reach out!
