Divorce Mediation

A structured, respectful process for couples who have decided to separate with clarity and protect what matters most.

Learn More

In Illinois and Missouri, divorce mediation is required for couples with children because courts aim to empower parents to make their own decisions about their family. Mediation provides the opportunity to create plans and agreements in a private, supported environment — rather than leaving important decisions to a judge.

As a Supreme Court Approved Divorce Mediator and relationship therapist, I bring both neutrality and a deep understanding of relationship dynamics. This allows me to guide conversations objectively while also helping you avoid the emotional escalation that can make this process more difficult than it needs to be. The goal is to help you reach clear agreements while protecting your mental and emotional well-being.

Who this is for

Mediation is designed for couples who want to move through separation in a thoughtful and intentional way. Even when emotions are high, this process creates structure so decisions can be made with clarity rather than reactivity.

This service may be a good fit if you:
Have children and are required to complete mediation as part of your divorce
Want to establish a healthy, sustainable co-parenting relationship
Prefer to make decisions together rather than leaving them to the court
Want to avoid prolonged legal conflict whenever possible
Want to reduce the financial strain often associated with traditional divorce litigation
Value privacy, clarity, and efficiency
Want support from someone who understands both the legal process and the emotional impact of separation

Mediation helps reduce unnecessary conflict, protect your mental well-being, and create a stronger foundation for the next phase of your life.

“This process helped us stay focused, make clear decisions, and move forward without creating more damage along the way.”

The Benefit of Working with a Therapist as Your Mediator

Divorce is both a legal and emotional process. Working with a mediator who is also a licensed therapist provides an added level of awareness, objectivity, and care.

My role is to remain neutral while helping you:

  • Keep conversations productive and focused
  • Reduce emotional escalation that can delay progress
  • Consider the long-term impact of decisions, especially for children
  • Maintain respect and stability throughout the process
  • Move forward without unnecessary emotional harm

This approach helps ensure decisions are made thoughtfully rather than reactively.
Across every stage of mediation, the focus is the same: helping you reach clear agreements and move forward with stability, dignity, and peace.
