Divorce and separation are life transitions with a legal component.  Joanna believes that settlements should make efficient use of your resources; be tailored to your circumstances and goals; and support your transition to a two-household family.
 
Mediation provides a supportive forum for thoughtful, frank, and thorough discussions.  The mediator’s role is to guide you toward a settlement that is informed, practical and long-lasting.  Joanna assists you with gathering information to make informed decisions; serves as your memory from session to session to help you maintain the continuity of your thoughts; develops and evaluates with you various options; guides you through implementation; and finds ways to resolve and manage conflict throughout.
