Experience

1. Mediator

   Mediator Consultant

   Jul 2015 — Present

   I mediate for divorcing families, including custody issues, and also for businesses, and interpersonal disputes. I bring a background in transpersonal psychology, family relations studies, and conflict resolution. My master’s thesis was on stepfamily variables in consensus. I bring personal life experience negotiating a healthy, congenial, and fair divorce settlement and shared custody arrangement. I am a professional astrologer and can bring my astrological knowledge into the work by helping people better understand each other and their needs, and their current evolutionary process. I also use astrology as a tool for picking fruitful times to meet and negotiate. I have a vast worldview informed by numerous religious and spiritual traditions that honors everyone as an evolving being and works toward the best outcome for all without blame and as much as possible, with love and compassion.
