About Me

About me

I’m an experienced mediator specializing in divorces and parenting schedules. I’ve been trained by the Center for Understanding in Conflict, New Justice Conflict Resolution Services, and the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation. I have a certificate in Conflict and Collaboration from Syracuse University and my applied practicum was completed with the Center for Mediation and Training. I’m a member of the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation.

My approach to mediation is facilitative. As a former project manager at large tech companies like Meta and Stripe, I’m skilled at facilitating conversations between parties with opposing viewpoints, and I leverage project management tools — goal setting, a whiteboard, spreadsheets, meeting notes — to guide clients through the conversation from start to finish. As a divorce mediator, my role is to facilitate a productive conversation between you and your spouse about how to part ways as a couple, perhaps for good, or – if you have a family together – in a way that allows you to coparent successfully.

I look forward to working with you.
