Relationships are built or constructed. As we journey through our lives,on occassion, we can benefit from some expert or professional coaching or assistance to help enhance relationships and to adjust to sudden changes or losses. This may be in our relationship with others or with ourselves. Our services include individual, couple/marital, family and group counselling approaches as well as informal mediation and parent coordination for separated, divorced and blended families. Discussions identify existing and new problem solving techniques, effective decision making and conflict resolution skills. They also reveal creative cognitive-behavioural strategies for coping with and managing challenging thoughts, feelings, behaviours and situations. Information and referral services may also include linking you with community resources. Topics often include; coping with life stressors (e.g. health, work etc.) communication, parenting, school performance, childhood development (social, sexual, psychological & intellectual) depression, anxiety, disordered eating behaviours, diabetes, adolescent maturation, relationship improvement, separation, divorce & reforming of families, stress and anger management, abuse & violence, intimacy, sexuality, legal system involvement/criminal rehabilitation, grief, loss, motivation, spirituality, values and employment satisfaction & productivity. Providing useful and timely information and support along with effective solutions to your specific challenges is the focus of our work. We wish you all the best in your relationships. Be Well

Families First Mediation

Families First Mediation will help your family transition through some difficult aspect of your lives. It may be separation/divorce, parenting teenage children or a family dispute about elder care.
Primarily I have focused on separation/divorce issues related to couples with children. I know intimately how time consuming and emotional custody and access issues are for parents. I truly believe that once your parenting responsibilities are sorted you can move on more successfully with other aspects of your separation. I guide the discussions between you and the other party and I provide a safe environment for you to actively participate in making decisions and focus on goals for your future – not blame for the past.

Many of us have friends, family members and/or clients that could benefit from mediation. Please help me give these people a quicker, cheaper and less stressful alternative!

Thank you,
