Initial Consultation

When conflict starts weighing on you, the hardest part is often deciding where to begin. My Initial Consultation gives you a calm, confidential first step - not a commitment to a long process, but a chance to breathe, be heard, and find out what your real options are.

During this 30 - 45 minute conversation, I listen carefully to what's happening, who is involved, and what you hope will change. You can ask anything: how mediation works, what it costs, how to invite the other person, and what to expect if emotions run high. My role is to give you clear, honest information so you can decide, with confidence, whether mediation is the right fit.

By the end of the consultation, you'll know:
• Whether your situation is appropriate for mediation instead of court or continued conflict.
• Whether a Quick Resolution Package or a Full Mediation Package is likely to suit your needs.
• How sessions are structured and how I maintain neutrality so all sides feel safe and respected.
• Practical next steps - even if you decide not to move forward with mediation.

Many people tell me that just having a structured, judgment-free conversation about their situation brings immediate relief. You don't have to have all the answers or even know exactly what you want yet. This first step is about clarity, privacy, and support.

If you're ready to explore a healthier way through your conflict, schedule your Initial Consultation by email. From there, we'll decide together if moving into formal mediation is the right path for you.
