Approach
How we collaborate
I approach mediation with the sensitivity that the facts to each dispute are unique to the parties. I give them the time and thoroughness they need and deserve, while being mindful that mediation should be an efficient process. My extensive training in ADR allows me to consider a “toolkit” of options that may provide for a successful resolution. I am comfortable and flexible in providing the parties with a range of mediation styles including facilitation, evaluation, and if appropriate a hybrid between the two.
