I am a highly trained, experienced, facilitative mediator, certified by the New York State Dispute Resolution Association.
As a mediator, I am skilled at getting to the heart of the issues quickly so that parties can move toward a resolution of their concerns. I work with families, businesses and other parties who are having a disagreement, a dispute or a conflict, or who just wish to improve their communication or the quality of their interactions. I combine the analytical skills of an attorney with the sensitivity of a facilitative mediator to help parties feel comfortable, respected and productive in mediation. I am an immediate past co-president of the Family and Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York, and work very hard to enhance the practice of mediation in all realms. I am a graduate of Columbia Law School and was formerly a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and worked on the Mediation Qualification Subcommittee.
Online and telephone Mediation: Although face to face mediation is usually preferable, there are times when parties may wish to mediate by conference call or email. I am open to these modalities when the parties so desire.
As a mentor, I work with mediators to help them develop or perfect their mediator mindset. The following of my articles may be of interest to mediators who are considering working with a mentor:
