- Other costs
- I provide mediation services in accordance with JusticeNet’s Reduced Fee Schedule. I begin with a free 15 minute consultation so we can talk about your situation, and I can offer information to help you decide whether mediation is the right fit. After that, my mediation fees are charged at an hourly rate. No retainer is required; fees are simply due before each scheduled session begins.
About Karen
I am an Accredited Family Mediator (OAFM) with a background in mediation, social services and adult education. Over the years, I’ve supported people through many difficult conversations, helping them find clarity, confidence, and a way forward.
My practice is rooted in neutrality, respect, and informed decision making. I work with clients to sort out what matters most to them, explore options, and communicate in ways that reduce conflict and build understanding.
My experience in social services, community development, and adult education shapes how I approach mediation. I aim to create a process that feels structured but accessible — where information is clear, choices make sense, and everyone has space to be heard. I work with individuals, parents, and extended families who want a constructive alternative to adversarial approaches.
In my practice, I offer mediation for parenting plans, support agreements, division of assets, separation related decisions, communication challen
