How Mediation Works

  • Item description
  • A brief conversation to understand what’s happening, answer questions, and assess fit.

  • Each person meets with me privately. Screening helps assess appropriateness, safety, power dynamics, and capacity—and guides a process design that is fair and workable.

  • Item description
  • If mediation is appropriate, we review and sign an Agreement to Mediate that sets expectations, confidentiality, role boundaries, and the right to pause or terminate.

  • Agenda-driven sessions (joint, shuttle, or hybrid—based on screening) to move from stuck conflict into workable options and decisions.

  • Where appropriate, outcomes are documented and you’re encouraged to obtain Independent Legal Advice before finalizing decisions.
