Stand out Approach

Impartiality.
As a mediator, I maintain neutrality and impartiality, earning the trust and respect of all parties. I create an environment where everyone feels heard and able to express their perspectives freely, facilitating productive discussions and mutually agreeable solutions.
My commitment to fairness is evident in my active listening, clarifying questions, and conscious avoidance of bias. This impartiality is fundamental to my role and professional identity as a trusted intermediary.

Effective Communication.
As a practitioner, I have mastered the communication skills to facilitate productive dialogue and guide parties towards collaborative solutions. Through experience, I listen attentively, convey information clearly, and create an environment where all participants feel heard. My communication expertise enables me to clarify misunderstandings and encourage cooperation, laying the foundation for successful negotiations. Effective communication is a cornerstone of my mediation practice, allowing me to convey information, manage expectations, and facilitate the exchange of ideas needed during mediation sessions.
-
Cultural Sensitivity.
As a mediator with a diverse background, my experiences equip me to navigate cultural sensitivities and promote understanding in disputes involving families from similar backgrounds. Born in Trinidad and raised in New York city, I've been exposed to a variety of cultural values. This gives me a deep appreciation for nuances influencing communication and conflict resolution. My diverse background is an invaluable asset, allowing me to build trust and ensure all voices are heard, even in complex disputes.
Understanding Family Dynamics
As a mediator, I can help parties look beyond the present circumstances and consider the implications of their decisions on future relationships, co-parenting arrangements, and family dynamics. My personal experiences have given me a unique perspective that allows me to guide the parties towards mutually beneficial solutions that preserve important family connections.
