“Not therapy, not lawyers”
Not therapy not lawyers or court — finding a middle lane
Many couples with questions about their futures don’t need months of therapy. They don’t need to hire attorneys, either. They just need structured help to talk through the hard parts, make decisions, and move forward with clarity.
This is the middle lane.
A focused, time-limited series of conversations where we sort through what matters, name the real issues, and create agreements you can live by — or take to an attorney to formalize. It’s practical, respectful, and grounded. A place to get unstuck without escalating conflict or entering treatment. What is Mediation?
For couples, partners, co-parents, and any two people who want clarity without the courtroom — and support without a diagnostic viewpoint.

Lawyers sit in the “legal zone.”
