Mediator's Comments:
|
I am a lawyer, writer and educator, called to the bar in May, 1988. Prior to law school, I spent ten years working in the field of early childhood education, including teaching child development and psychology. I have been an adjunct professor at UBC Law School, have served on the board of directors of the Dispute Resolution Practicum Society, and am on the Executive of the International Academy of Collaborative Practitioners, and President in 2009. I have led and designed training in the collaborative process, and have been a speaker in the area of collaborative law to groups across Canada and the United States. I have written a book on interdisciplinary collaborative practice, titled: "Collaborative Practice: Deepening the Dialogue". I am committed to assisting couples in reaching private settlements at the end of their relationships, and to helping parents resolve matters in a way that best meets their children's needs.
