I have a large amount of experience in child protection issues, separation and divorce and parenting plans. I have a great deal of experience in lgbtq issues and working with those with disabilities. I have worked with large groups of people to resolve agency or family issues. I have access to mediation facilities in Nanaimo, Duncan, Cobble Hill, and Victoria.

I have been practising as a mediator for 18 years and working with families in the social services for 38 years. I have been practising as a parent coordinator and arbitrator for 10 years.
I believe participants should be allowed to determine the course of their conflict resolution and work with the party's to plan their process with them.
I have recently begun practising in elder mediation and look forward to working with families to plan for their elder's care, estates and wills.
I work with party's in different geographic locations through distance mediation.
I wish to begin working in the area of ICBC mediations and am currently training for this.
I live with my partner and our animal friends in Cobble Hill.
