I was inspired to join the MDM team due to my firsthand experience with litigated divorce. I view the litigation process as prone to escalation, conflict, and unnecessary emotional and financial suffering. As a mediator, my intention is to understand the values, needs, and interests of both parties, allowing those to drive the process rather than fear, anger, or retribution. My experience working with couples in therapy and mediation has revealed to me that empathy, understanding, and compromise are often much more attainable than they may appear. I bring to my work a sincere optimism about our clients' ability to make remarkable progress in their relationships, even when the situation feels hopelessly fraught. 

I am a psychotherapist (MFT-IT), mediator, and personal development coach whose professional work focuses on navigating the challenges and tapping into the full potential of interpersonal relationships. Beyond the MDM walls, you can typically find me laughing and frolicking with my amazing wife and three children or running up and down a soccer field.
