Simply put, our business is about helping people in difficult situations have conversations about difficult topics.




  • We help people in the midst of divorce have a discussion about how they want their children to be cared for.


  • We help families make decisions about what to do if one of them becomes unable to care for him or herself.


  • We help co-workers and neighbors discuss how to resolve disputes.


  • We help entire organizations decide how to improve their working relationships.


  • We also train people in ways to transform conflicts into solutions.



I normally will use transformative mediation though, if the situation warrants, I will use facilitative mediation as well.

Experience

I have been a mediator since 1998.  I have done some AEA mediations involving IEP's; I have done some workplace mediations between supervisors and supervisees and between co-workers.  I have also facilitated a dialogue process for an entire neighborhood and for a non-profit organization.  I have extensive experience in conflict resolution training and diversity training.  Since 1999, I have trained peer mediators for the Des Moines County high school.  More recently, I have begun conducting family and elder care mediations.
