Choosing A Maryland Mediator
The essence of the human, the soul, is at peace when there is no conflict. However, the human "condition" is fragile and as long as our souls inhabit our bodies, our souls are seldom at peace. As a registered nurse, business woman, attorney, and mediator, I have always been drawn to helping people solve problems. Day in and day out, I am contacted by people in conflict.
I am a mediator with a private practice in Maryland. I fulfilled the training and experience requirements of the State of Maryland and am appointed by the court to mediate claims that are scheduled to appear in the circuit court in Maryland.
As a mediator, I am an impartial, neutral third party. Through the mediation process, I help people identify issues relevant to their dispute, assist them to communicate, to hear each other, and to find and negotiate options for settlement.
Much of the time I am able to help people (also referred to as "parties"), resolve their dispute and often improve their relationship. I am especially pleased when I hear from people they learned skills in mediation which they applied in other settings to help head off or deal with conflict.
During my career, which spans more than twenty five years, I served as a nurse and an officer in the United States Air Force, owned and ran a business, became a trained mediator and obtained a law degree. My education, training, and experience taught me to read people well, remain neutral and detached, analyze the facts, and find alternatives for conflict resolution. I am pleased to be able to apply this winning formula in personal and family, as well as, workplace a commercial disputes.
