Divorce is hard. It doesn’t have to be a nightmare.
You can divorce without a lengthy and expensive legal battle.
Mediation is the most powerful way to end your marriage. You are in control of the outcome, not a judge. You decide what’s best for your life.
Whether you’re looking for a Mediated Settlement or Collaborative Divorce, you will get a holistic skillset to guide your family through this difficult time — not just as clients, but as human beings.
You can transform your relationship without drama.
In any divorce, there are tender places, potential misunderstandings, and circumstances that nudge good people towards harmful behavior.
Even when a marriage ends on the best of notes, there is understandably quite a bit of grief.
Mediation softens the blow of divorce
for everyone involved — especially the children.
Litigation pits parent against parent and the kids always lose. The power of Mediation lies in the way the conflict is resolved – with privacy and healing.
Beyond drafting your settlement, the Mediator helps you remain centered throughout this process, guiding you to make space to grieve and release stress with compassion.
“Absolutely key to our success.”
“Kelly kept us focused on the future and what we wanted for our children and ourselves going forward, rather than allowing us to devolve into finger-pointing and accusations of the past. This is not to say that there were never tears or angry words throughout the process, but Kelly's calm yet firm command of the situation and her keen awareness of when we should be working together and when we should be working separately, were priceless and absolutely key to our success.”

“Past the disappointment more quickly.”
"She never lost her cool. Not once. Kelly is able to hover above the pettiness and suffering, having the strength of character to acknowledge it without being sucked into it. She comes from a place of compassion and empathy and stays in the solution, not the problem. Divorce may well bring out the worst in many of us.. Kelly mollified all that by acknowledging the pain and anger and lingering with each of us in it just long enough to get to constructive problem-solving. Thanks to Kelly, I believe my ex, my kids and I have been able to get past the shock and disappointment of it all more quickly than if we had not worked with her.”

It’s about wellbeing, not winning.
Here’s what it looks like to work with me as your Mediator:
1. You Each Receive a Private Pre-Mediation Session
By meeting with you individually, I get a deep read on what’s going on with both of you. Then, I help come up with creative strategies to make sure everyone has their needs met. Especially the kids, whom you both care about deeply.
In these one-on-one Zoom Meetings, I’m fully present with you. I work to identify your Universal Human Needs as well as your tender spots so that we can move through all of the practical matters with compassion and full awareness.
2. We Design a Peaceful Agreement at Mediation
Then, we all meet together to create a settlement that works for both of you. Drawing upon my training in Conscious Contracts®, we move gracefully towards a legal agreement that creates clarity and restores peace.
I want you to have a settlement that sets the entire family up to heal and thrive. Our work together results in having all of your agreements, plans, and boundaries in writing, so that you can each move towards a bright future.
You file the Marital Settlement Agreement along with your divorce petition with the court to finalize your divorce without a court battle.
3. After the Mediation, You Each Receive a Private Post-Mediation Session
At the end of our work together, you’ll have clarity about your bright future after divorce. You’ll know how to gently engage your kids without having them internalize the conflict. And you’ll be empowered with guidelines to keep your new relationship strong and healthy.
I’ll make sure you each walk away with a sense of wholeness and completion. That means no lingering questions pertaining to roles, rights, and responsibilities.
