Neutral ProfileWith over 18 years of experience in family and divorce mediation, I help families navigate one of life’s most challenging chapters with clarity, compassion, and practical solutions. Mediation sessions are available in my comfortable Soquel office or conveniently via Zoom. Drawing on my years working closely with the local courts—including serving as the former Family Court Services Director of the Santa Cruz Superior Court—I know how to simplify and demystify what can often feel like an overwhelming legal process. I frequently collaborate with attorneys, mental health providers, and other professionals to ensure a comprehensive, balanced approach. My background in family systems, blended families, and family violence informs my work, enabling me to address sensitive issues with insight and care. In addition to mediation, I offer a range of divorce-related services, including parenting plan evaluations, parent coordination, co-parent counseling, family therapy, and individual therapy for adults and children. Whether your goal is to resolve disputes, restructure family roles, or develop a healthy co-parenting plan, I provide a safe and neutral space to find lasting solutions.
