My Approach — Bridging Differences, Creating Solutions

At BridgePoint Mediation, I do more than help families reach agreements.

I help them reclaim calm from chaos and build solutions they can truly live with — even when the path forward feels uncertain. Agreements that are made by families, for their families because it is what is right for them.

I offer ongoing support and easily accessible service to revisit agreements as time passes and needs change.

I’ve sat across from parents exhausted by conflict and fear, unsure if they could agree on anything. Partners devastated and overwhelmed by separation and unsure of what comes next. Older couples facing a new reality and having to navigate pensions and savings. LGBT+ and other marginalized community members and families feeling unheard by services and systems.

I’ve supported families balancing cultural beliefs, spirituality, and traditions with new realities, parents struggling across long distances, and caregivers desperate to put their children’s needs first despite financial strain and emotional overwhelm. 

This is real life.
It’s not about neat legal checklists or one-size-fits-all solutions.
It’s about helping families — in all their forms — feel heard, understood, and supported as they craft plans they can actually follow, not just sign.

Here’s how I do that:

Child- and family-focused

Children’s well-being is at the heart of every conversation. I help families create sustainable, balanced durable and long-term parenting plans that reflect their actual lives today and tomorrow. 

Trauma-informed & strengths-based

With over 17 years in social work and child & youth care, I know that conflict doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Many families carry trauma, grief, and histories of struggle. I navigate high-conflict and emotionally charged situations gently, respecting each person’s voice, beliefs, strengths, limits, and growth.

Legally-informed, practical outcomes

My agreements and plans aren’t just “good enough for now.” They are designed to meet Ontario’s family law standards and transition smoothly into legal agreements. This protects families and individuals from getting stuck later, avoiding costly delays or disputes.

Real-world, relatable process

I understand what families are really facing — not just in courtrooms, but at kitchen tables and across text messages. Financial pressures. Mental health and addiction struggles. Scheduling challenges. Coparenting across distances. Rebuilding trust. My solutions reflect real life, YOUR LIFE, not theory.

Transparent, ethical, and grounded in trust

When families are navigating uncertainty, they deserve more than professionalism — they deserve honesty, clarity, and a process they can trust. I explain every step in plain language, and make sure families understand both their rights and their choices.

Above all, I create a safe space where confidentiality, respect, and dignity are always protected.

Most importantly:
I believe families and individuals don’t just need “agreements.”
They need solutions that offer stability, dignity, and the chance to turn the page toward something healthier - their way

That’s the work I do every day.
That’s BridgePoint Mediation.
