Description of Practice
One hour free consultation for Divorce, Family, Elder, Church and Civil Mediation by a skilled caring professional in Twin Cities Metro, Southern Minnesota and beyond. Weekend and evening appointments available. Mediation saves thousands of dollars over litigation. Call me: I get results.
Professional Background
I've worked in high conflict and high stress jobs for twenty years as divorce and family meditator/expeditor, interim pastor/consultant (12+ churches), and ER/ICU/Hospice chaplain. I am trained in Civil and Family Mediation, Early Neutral Evaluation, Custody Evaluation, Parenting Time Expediting/Consulting, Elder Mediation and Church Mediation, Consultation and Facilitation.
Experience
I have mediated hospital disputes since 1995, church disputes since 1992, and divorce/family disputes (for MN Courts and privately) since 2006.

Approach
I am easy to work with. I provide structure and allow as much control of the mediation process by parties as is helpful. Though it may be stressful, I enjoy the process and clients like my style. My personal style is low-key and supportive. I go the extra mile.
Fees
FREE FIRST CONSULTATION. I use a sliding scale based on need and income for subsequent sessions. Mediation costs much less than traditional courtroom litigation. Will travel to you.
Other Information
I travel to you in and around the Mpls./St. Paul metro area and in Southcentral and Southeastern Minnesota. My website is www.resolveconflictnow.net
