I am a fixer not a fighter. By working in the present and planning for the future I help clients resolve conflicts in a way that enables them to work together going forward. Whether in families or in the workplace, most conflicts arise with people we are in relationship with. While conflict can be stressful, it also points out when something in our world isn’t working like it should. By using tools like mediation and collaborative law this conflict becomes a catalyst for change. The focus shifts from “blame” to how can we do better moving forward? Our services include:
Divorce: Rather than resorting to the courtroom, collaborative divorce takes a team approach to transitioning families to their new normal. We focus on the values and goals of the family and we have bring in neutral resources the family needs to make a smooth transition during a difficult time.
Elder Issues: Caring for our aging parents raises a variety of issues for families. These can be difficult conversations for families to have we often wait until there is a crisis to make a decision. By planning proactively, we keep more options open and preserve relationships in the family.
Estate Planning: These tools allow us to ensure our wishes are honored when we are not able to speak for ourselves. Powers of attorney (financial and healthcare) empower someone else to take care of us or our finances when we can't. A will, even a simple will, provides guidance when we are gone so that our loved ones can settle our affairs easily.
