Facing divorce is overwhelming. You probably have questions like:
-
How much will this cost me?
-
Do I really need to hire a lawyer?
-
Will we have to fight in court?
-
How long will this take?
-
Can I protect my kids from this conflict?
-
What if we can't agree on anything?
The good news? You have options.
Here's an honest comparison to help you make an informed decision.
Not sure which option is right for you? That's what the free consultation is for.
I'll help you understand your choices and make an informed decision, even if that means referring you to a collaborative law attorney or traditional lawyer.
What exactly is divorce mediation?
Divorce mediation is a process where you and your spouse work together with a neutral third party (a mediator) to negotiate all the terms of your divorce—custody, parenting time, division of assets, spousal support, child support, and more.
​​
The mediator doesn't take sides or make decisions for you. Instead, I guide the conversation, help you communicate productively, and ensure you're covering everything you need to address. You make the decisions together, and I document those decisions in a Memorandum of Understanding, which can be used to draft your Marital Settlement Agreement.
​
Mediation is NOT therapy or counseling. It's a practical, focused process for reaching fair agreements so you can move forward with your lives and create a better tomorrow.
Why choose mediation?
Save $10,000+
Average lawyer-led divorce costs $15-30K. Mediation typically costs $3-5K total—that's money you can use for your new life, not legal bills.
​
Finish in Months, Not Years
Mediated divorces can be completed in as little as 8-12 weeks. Lawyer-led divorces often take 12-24 months or longer.
​​
Stay in Control
You and your spouse make the decisions together. No judge telling you what's fair. No lawyers fighting over every detail.
​
Protect Your Kids
Children suffer when parents fight in court. Mediation keeps conflict low and shows your kids that you can still work together.
​
Address Everything
We cover all the details: custody schedules, parenting decisions, asset division, retirement accounts, the house, cars, debts—everything.
​
Private & Confidential
Court battles are public record. Mediation is completely private.

I know how to guide difficult conversations when emotions are high, and I explain complicated decisions in plain language. I can also help you build a team of professionals—including attorneys, financial advisors, therapists, and more—to support you through this transition.

I believe in mediation because it gives you control when everything feels uncertain. You decide what's fair, protect your children from conflict, and avoid the time and expense of courtroom battles.
