Imagine a world where conflict is transformed into understanding, disputes give way to collaborative solutions, and the pain of disagreement is replaced by the promise of peace. This vision fuels my work as a mediator.
Hi, my name is Kathleen. My journey began in 2009 at the Justice Center of Atlanta, Inc., one of the first mediation centers established by President Jimmy Carter. Since then, I've dedicated myself to mastering the craft of mediation, compiling over 500 hours of training across seven states in civil, elder, family, and divorce mediation. I've taught the Basic 40-Hour Mediation course required for new mediators in twelve states and abroad and have mediated over 1,000 court and private practice cases.
But my experience goes beyond the numbers. I've had the profound privilege of witnessing firsthand the power of mediation to heal, reconcile, and transform lives. I've seen disputes that once seemed insurmountable give way to breakthroughs, and I've watched as individuals caught in the grips of conflict find their way back to a place of peace and understanding.
Mediation, in my practice, is a unique form of alchemy. It harnesses the raw, destructive energy of conflict and transforms it into something constructive and life-affirming. The mediation table, in my hands, becomes a sanctuary amidst the chaos, a space where people can come together to make sense of their disputes and create a path forward.
And I want you to know that I am not just a mediator but a dedicated partner in your journey. Whether you're navigating a divorce, resolving a family dispute, or seeking to find common ground in Civil, Elder, or Family mediation, I bring my extensive training, vast experience, and unwavering commitment to helping others to every case I undertake.
So, if you're ready to put an end to the pain of conflict and start building a future of peace and collaboration, I'm here to guide you. Reach out today, and let's begin your journey toward a resolution.
Simply stated a high agreement rate sends people into their lives now aligned with new "do differents" of handling situations more successfully. These new decisions bring a peace and new stabilty to life. Often times conflicts happen due to "others" actions but consequences still need remedied. The Mediation Table has room for all the issues good, bad, and the ugly. The process will clarify, not condemn, often be thankful, and celebrating the successes along the way! Conflict is meant to move us forward differently not to sink us.
Life can be daunting, so let's fix it, and move on!
Mediation at its core is about clarity and agreement. The principles include confidentiality, being voluntary, neutrality, informed consent, and self-determination. The Mediation Table is not a place to be scolded and judged. It is a venue that offers opportunities for gut wrenching honesty, pragmatic thinking, new beginnings, redefining the past etc. The Mediation table has an appreciation for the fact that life often times twists and turns causing conflicts.
The highly confidential Mediation Process is a safe place to unwind and rewind the issues to an agreement.
