“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”

When disagreements and conflicts remain unresolved, they can cause a great deal of stress and diminish your ability to work together as partners, family members, or as teammates within your business.
Left unchecked, the impacts of unresolved issues on the family can, like weeds, grow and become severe. This is especially the case when disagreements are handled by competing over whose ideas will win, instead of working together to create common ground.
Our mediation process offers a solutions-oriented approach to conflict resolution that is designed to keep your needs, interests, and goals at the center of the discussion.
How you resolve a disagreement or a conflict can have an impact that lasts beyond the issue itself.
By choosing mediation, you can resolve your differences, disagreements and conflicts in a way that promotes constructive engagement and creating solutions that you can all support, instead of remaining stuck on the points where you don’t agree.
Our mediation process supports more effective communication, cooperation and problem solving, and can generally reduce the costs and stress that results from not being aligned with each other. It provides a forum that supports looking at the entirety of a situation, and a focus on what’s possible for the future.
Mediation is a structured, solutions-oriented process that helps you keep your needs, your hopes, and your concerns – in other words, what’s important to you – at the center of the discussion.
A mediator can help you have the difficult, but necessary dialogue that can lead to mutually beneficial agreements, without the need for litigation or other types adversarial processes that can be expensive, time consuming, and where a judge – not you – would have the final say in decisions about your future.
In mediation, you retain more control over your outcomes and have the support of a neutral mediator to help you to develop creative solutions to address your unique needs, even when it can be difficult to see past your differences.
We offer mediation for a broad range of issues, including: Separation & Divorce, Neurodiverse Families, Parenting Mediation, Adult Siblings & Relatives, Elder Care & Aging, and Family Business disputes.

You are the experts on your situation.
We provide a process that empowers you to move past the points where you can get stuck.
Sometimes we all can get stuck. It can take the support of a third party, who doesn’t have a stake in the issue, to help you to step back so that you can unlock opportunities to get unstuck and engage in more positive and constructive ways.
