Adult Family Mediation

Conflict is normal.  Families don't fall apart because they disagree—they fall apart because they don't know how to have the conversations that matter. I help families navigate the difficult decisions and conflicts that determine whether relationships survive or fracture.

Common Family Situations I Help With:

  • Adult siblings in conflict over aging parent's care

  • Parents and adult children navigating difficult transitions

  • Families divided over inheritance or financial decisions

  • Estranged family members seeking reconciliation

  • Multi-generational conflict affecting family gatherings and holidays

Healthcare Conflict Resolution

As a former ER/ICU nurse, I understand the unique pressures medical teams face—and the cost when conflict goes unaddressed. Turnover. Burnout. Patient care suffering.

I help healthcare organizations build conflict management systems that work.

Healthcare Team Mediation

  • Staff-to-staff disputes impacting team dynamics

  • Department or unit-level tensions

  • Leadership team disagreements

  • Conflicts between clinical and administrative staff
     

Healthcare Leadership Coaching

  • Coaching nurse managers and medical directors

  • Developing conflict management skills for healthcare leaders

  • Navigating difficult conversations across hierarchy

  • Supporting leaders through organizational change
     

Healthcare Team Training & Workshops

  • Crucial conversations in clinical settings

  • Giving and receiving feedback in high-pressure environments

  • Conflict communication skills

  • Building collaborative teams

  • Team debriefing after conflict or crisis situations
     

Organizational Conflict Systems Design

  • Assessing current conflict patterns and costs

  • Designing clear escalation pathways (HR, mediation, coaching)

  • Creating early intervention protocols

  • Training key stakeholders in conflict facilitation

  • Measuring results: turnover reduction, satisfaction scores, retention
     

Why Healthcare Organizations Hire Me:

  • Insider expertise: I've lived the pressure of medical environments

  • Focus on prevention, not just crisis response

  • Training that builds lasting skills, not temporary fixes

  • Measurable ROI through reduced turnover and improved culture

OUR APPROACH

Evidence-Based & Practical
Every framework I teach is grounded in conflict resolution research and tested in real-world situations—from the ER to the boardroom to family living rooms.

Skills That Transfer
When you learn to navigate one difficult conversation, you gain tools for every future conflict. I'm not just fixing today's problem—I'm building your capacity for tomorrow's challenges.

No Judgment, Just Solutions
Being human means making mistakes and bad choices sometimes. I create confidential spaces where everyone can tell their truth without fear of judgment or blame.

Focused on Healing
Unresolved conflict is its own kind of trauma. I understand that life can get really, really hard. I'm calm under pressure and focused on helping you find your way forward.

You Decide the Outcome
Unlike litigation where judges decide your future, mediation and coaching put you in control. You get to decide what works, what matters, and how your story continues.
