have been a practicing mediator since 2006, having studied mediation at the Justice Institute of British Columbia, where I obtained certificates in Family Mediation and Third Party Intervention.
Between 2006 and 2008 I completed both the Small Claims Mediation Practicum and the Child Protection Mediation Practicum. Prior to my mediation focused education, in 2002 I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Speech Communication from the University of Waterloo. I also received an Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies from Briercrest College in 1998.
I was born and raised in Fort St. John, though I lived away from the region for almost a decade while attending school. In 2007, I moved back to Fort St. John to open my mediation practice. I am a member of the Family, Child Protection & Civil Rosters of Mediate BC.
My philosophy of mediation is that YOU are the expert in your conflict and, therefore, YOU are best equipped to come up with the most suitable solution. I will help you arrive at solutions that work for all parties and are good decisions made with all available information, so that they will stay good decisions in the long run.
