Practice Description:
I take pride in my ability to work with all parties involved. I try to help diffuse the situation at hand by helping to peel back the layers of frustration, anger and resentment, which enables me to get to the core issues that are alienating the parties. I make a strong effort to reunite the parties if that is preferred, or I can assist in completely allowing all parties to go their separate ways. When we are frustrated in conflict, we tend to put up barriers that stop the ability to communicate in an open fashion. My practice is to break those barriers down by listening and understanding with compassion in order to create a more open line of communication and explore alternate possibilities to resolution.
Approach to Practice / Form of Mediation:
I take a very modern approach to mediation and understand that people come from all different types of personal backgrounds, socioeconomic backgrounds, educational diversity and life experiences. I work with everyone involved taking all of those differences into account while trying to reach the root of the dispute in hope for a peaceful and acceptable resolution for all parties involved.
Background:
I have a very strong background in the legal community having worked in the legal field as a civil litigation paralegal focusing on construction and business litigation for the past 30 years for three highly respected and well known law firms in Portland, Oregon. In my 30 years I have attended over 100 trials and over 300 mediations and arbitration's. Since opening my own practice, I have presided over 40 mediations from family disputes (divorce, financial, real property) to business divorces to contract disputes, to property disputes and many more areas of life.
Education / Training:
I currently hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Sociology and a Minor in History form Portland State University as well as 2 years of Post Graduate Studies in Conflict Resolution. I have 30 years of civil litigation paralegal experience as well as over 20 years as a CASA. Additionally, I have over 100 hours of post graduate level mediation training and of course, the most important-life experiences.
Fee Information:
$250 per hour (for up to 3 parties -$500 per hour with 4 or more parties) with a sliding scale for low income or financially strapped parties. Please call for details. Please note that I do provide a
