Family separation can be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences a family faces. Mediation offers an opportunity to resolve parenting, communication, and other family issues in a respectful, collaborative, and cost-effective manner, without the need for lengthy court proceedings.
​
As both a Registered Social Worker and family mediator, I provide a calm, balanced, and structured process that helps families work toward practical solutions while keeping children's wellbeing at the centre of decision-making.
​
Family Mediation
​
Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party helps individuals identify issues, explore options, and work toward mutually acceptable agreements.
​
My role is not to make decisions for families or determine who is right or wrong. Instead, I facilitate productive conversations, encourage respectful communication, and help participants develop practical solutions that meet the unique needs of their family.
​
Mediation may be appropriate for matters including:
-
Parenting arrangements
-
Decision-making responsibility
-
Parenting schedules
-
Communication between parents
-
Holiday and vacation schedules
-
Child-related concerns
-
Other family issues arising from separation
Power Imbalance & Family Violence Screening
​
Before family arbitration begins, Ontario arbitrators are required to screen each participant separately for power imbalances and family violence.
​
The purpose of screening is to determine whether mediation or arbitration is appropriate and, if so, whether any accommodations are necessary to help ensure a fair, safe, and effective process.
​
Screening considers a wide range of factors, including:
-
Family violence
-
Coercive control
-
Safety concerns
-
Intimidation
-
Decision-making capacity
-
Significant power imbalances
-
Other factors that may affect a person's ability to participate freely in mediation
My Approach
​
Every family's circumstances are unique.
​
I believe that successful mediation requires careful preparation, respectful communication, and a commitment to creating a process where everyone has the opportunity to participate safely and meaningfully.
​
Drawing on my background in social work, trauma-informed practice, and family law, I strive to provide a process that is thoughtful, impartial, and focused on helping families move forward while promoting children's best interests.
​
Is Mediation Right for Your Family?
​
Mediation can be an effective option for many families, but it is not appropriate in every situation.
​
If you are unsure whether mediation is suitable for your circumstances, I would be pleased to discuss your situation, explain the process, and help you determine whether mediation—or another service—would best meet your family's needs.
