WHAT MEDIATION CAN DO:
Everyone has heard of mediation.
It is that thing you do when you are getting a divorce, usually forced on you by a judge.
Let’s flip the script on that: Mediation is for establishing agreements in a clear and unambiguous manner.
Here are some of the things that mediation can help with:
- New Relationships
- Disputes between family or friends
- Business disputes
- Contract disputes
- Partner mediation
- Prenuptial Mediation
- Divorce
Any time open and explicit communication could help, mediation can help. And doing so early can usually save you down the road.

-MARY KARR

PANDEMIC-SAFE VIRTUAL MEDIATION
We will conduct all of our mediation services via Zoom, Skype or Teams in order to help you as quickly as possible from your own space and comfort zone.
What you can expect first is establishing wants and needs from each person, and then unbiased discussion facilitated so that each person feels completely heard. We may perform exercises in order to really help each partner fully empathize with the other. In the end agreements are made that are written down and wanted by both sides. In that way we take away the sides and that helps to make relationships stronger.
We work with all genders, any and all pronouns, all races, any family makeup whether traditional, nontraditional, religious or not. It doesn’t matter if you are married for decades or just started dating. In fact, it can be very helpful to seek out mediation at the beginning of any kind of partnership to avoid communication pitfalls. If you feel that communication is needed or facilitated, we can help!
