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.

Testimonials

"I am a family lawyer and mediator in the Okanagan and I write to thank you for writing, Preparing for Mediation: A Dispute Resolution Guide. I read the entire book in a few hours before a challenging mediation session. Your book was well organized, easy to understand and filled with useful practical tips and summaries. I felt very confident going into the mediation as your book was a complete refresher to the mediation courses I have taken. We managed to resolve shared custody, child and spousal support and a division of the property on a very difficult and highly contested file. Thank you again for your wonderful book! I will recommend it to both colleagues and clients."
