In life there is "Talking the Talk", and then there is "Walking the Walk".  As a Mediator and as a Collaborative Professional, I am committed to continuing my personal growth and development by pursuing ongoing training and by training other collaborative professionals.  I have been taking mediation training continually since 1985, and I have been providing training services to collaborative professionals since 2007.  I am committed to equipping myself to help families in transition find peaceful solutions.  The following is a summary of my most recent training activities and current affiliations.  Experience is not Expensive...  It's Priceless!
