Family Co-Mediation provides an effective, balanced team approach to dispute resolution in many areas of family conflict. We work with parent/child, parent/adolescent, and parent/adult-child conflicts; pre-marital, marital, divorce and post-marital conflicts, including re-marriage and step-family conflicts; we work with sibling conflicts and family business conflicts.

Our partnering process offers our clients a learning experience, with the tools and resources they will be able to use in the future. Our goal is to provide the best possible environment to enable our clients to become their best selves in a very trying time. When we accomplish this, our clients come to appreciate how much better tomorrow seems than yesterday.
