Here a brief (2 minute) video summarizing the mediation process.

In a college course I teach at Stevenson University on Family Dynamics & Therapy (HSR 430), I observe that every family is dysfunctional! Like the idiom, “Nobody’s perfect”, it’s a fact of life. Every family has some level of “dysfunction”.

Families also go through stages. Here they are:

Stage 1: Coupling – Two people join (often in marriage).
Stage 2: Having Children
Stage 3: Raising Pre-Teen Children
Stage 4: Teenagers in the Family
Stage 5: Launching Children & Empty Nesters
Stage 6: Midlife, Aging & Grand-Parenting
Stage 7: End of Life

Cultural influences, mental health issues, social expectations, financial worries, and individual circumstances are just a few additional factors which make “family life” a complicated but fascinating phenomena. My adult career has been focused on studying these phenomena.

I am a “FAMILY FOCUSED” therapist who also has a law degree. I am also a lawyer & mediator who is a counselor. I think you’ll find my focus and approach useful & transformative. For a free phone consultation, call me at (410) 750-2655.
