At Transforming Conflict LLC, the goal is to help you attack the source of the conflict, not each other. Studies demonstrate that parties who are active and feel empowered in resolving their conflict do better emotionally, financially and legally than those who delegate responsibility to the courts.

I provide divorce, adoption, eldercare, family business and other family-related mediation services through a proven problem-solving process.

It is rarely easy to watch family members age. As physical, emotional, and financial changes occur, sons, daughters, and caring others may be called upon to make complex and difficult decisions.

If you have concerns about such issues as living arrangements, caregiving, medical decisions, financial management, powers of attorney, estate planning and end-of-life decisions, mediation may well be your answer.

A successfully mediated outcome helps ensure that the elder person enjoys healthy interactions and retains control over basic life decisions, while addressing his or her need for assistance and support. And that can protect and preserve family relationships.
