Mission & Approach
Julie has spent over 28 years building the unique skills necessary to guide her clients through the maze of relationship challenges whether pre-marital, marital, divorce or cohabitation. She is a master at crafting resolutions that are tailored to your individual needs instead of just following how things are traditionally done. Her approach allows her to stay neutral, see all the pieces of your mediation puzzle and make connections others just cannot see.
All relationships have the potential to be contentious. It is the mediator’s job to manage the conflict and reduce it so people are able to make rational and reasonable decisions to move forward. She does not take on your emotions. Instead, she finds all the parts of your situation, makes connections and helps people generate options for resolving the conflict.
As a former social services worker, Julie appreciates clients’ needs for solid communication, strong advocacy, emotional support and efficient conflict management. All driving principles of her approach and team work ethics.
