Helping you get on with your life

Welcome

Collaborative dispute resolution processes allow you to reach outcomes that you agree to, that are workable, and that are private.  Some people think that divorce is an expensive, ugly, drawn-out battle where nobody wins.  I help couples reach a satisfying conclusion using an effective process at a reasonable cost.

In Mediation and Collaborative Law you are treated with respect. You receive as much professional assistance as you need - each process is designed to meet your objectives. You control how soon you will resolve your dispute and get on with your life. Deb facilitates this process and works with you to maintain important relationships.Deb has over 25 years of dispute resolution experience. Her extensive background includes collaborative family law and mediation. Deb trains others in principled, interest-based negotiation and mediation skills.

Deb has offices in Vancouver and on the North Shore.
