Statement

The following statement was provided by the mediator.

My professional background includes 15 years of counseling and rehabilitation services with at-risk youth and their families. Much of this time was spent facilitating conflict resolution strategies, and assisting with the development of positive coping skills. I have a Master of Science degree in Counseling. My mission in the practice of mediation is to offer support, encouragement and consultation to both parties. My background in the counseling field emphasizes my strengths in being non-judgmental, genuine, and focused on the primary needs and happiness of children and their parents.
