About Our Family Mediators

When you are planning your separation, choosing the right mediator can shape the entire experience. Key things to consider include the mediator’s experience, communication style, cost, and how well they understand your unique situation. You want to feel supported, informed, and confident as you work through important decisions, and the person guiding you can make a meaningful difference. Every family is unique and every couple brings their own needs, personalities, and financial realities. That is why we offer two different mediators at two different experience levels so you can choose the option that feels right for your situation. Having more options means you are more likely to find a mediator who truly matches your needs and preferences.

​

Some people prefer to work with a senior mediator who has many years of family law and mediation experience. Rebecca has guided more than 1,000 families through parenting, support, and property issues, and I bring a deeper context to the process because I also practice as a family lawyer. Other people may opt for a newer mediator who offers a lower fee while they continue to build their professional experience. Both options offer thoughtful support, and what matters most is making a match that takes your interests into account and ensures you feel comfortable and understood.

​

The mediation process can be difficult, but the right mediator can help ease this challenge. Maintaining focus during mediation is essential to ensure productive communication and a solution-oriented approach.

​

Different Affordability Options​

Offering two experience levels also creates more accessibility. Separation can feel financially overwhelming and not every family has the same budget. By giving you a choice, you can select a mediator whose flat fee structure, rather than a strict hourly rate, makes the process manageable while still receiving a high level of care. Online payment and in-person or online consultation options are available for added convenience. 

​

Same Structured Process and Same Agreement

Both mediators follow the same structured process and work within the same supportive approach. We provide oversight and guidance so you feel secure and informed from start to finish. As part of this process, we help you prepare for each step, encouraging you to keep an open mind and talk openly throughout mediation. We emphasize the importance of collecting and preparing all necessary information and documents, including financial records and other relevant materials, to ensure a smooth experience. Our tools and resources are available to help you understand documents, calculations, and procedural steps.

​

Since Rebecca is a lawyer, she provides a professionally drafted Separation Agreement to reflect the choices made in mediation so that you can use and rely on the document moving forward. The agreement is drafted using neutral language to promote fairness and clarity. We address all key areas such as parenting, property division, child support, and spousal support, ensuring that each of your decisions is outlined thoroughly. process is designed to reduce the need to fight and supports a smoother transition through divorce or separation.

​

Our goal is to make mediation available, approachable, and tailored. Whether you choose a senior mediator or a developing practitioner, you will receive steady guidance, clear information, and a respectful process focused on fairness and transparency. At the end of the process, you leave with a legally binding Separation Agreement that reflects your intentions and meets legal requirements.  We aim to create a positive conclusion to a difficult situation.
