Elder and Estate Mediation

She recognizes that many disputes are financial in nature and works with her clients to assure that they are well informed before making decisions. In addition, Sally facilitates communication during mediation respecting and acknowledging the emotions of each party and the family dynamics that inevitably are present.

Facilitation
Sally has personal experience with family offices and community program development. Over several years, Sally facilitated
communication between students, parents, athletic coaches, school
administrators and governmental agencies to establish a rowing program at a local high school.
This facilitation between multiple parties requires evaluating the needs and interests of all concerned,
highlighting common interests, and motivating the parties to create a lasting program serving the whole community. She brings this experience to her facilitation practice. Sally has received accreditation by the Center for Right Relationship in Organization & Relationship Systems Coaching.
Conflict Coaching
Sally believes that conflict resolution can not only solve a current conflict but can be a transformative opportunity for the parties involved. She offers her clients an opportunity to learn improved skills through assessing their behavior when in conflict with the intention of turning destructive behavior into constructive behavior. She brings conflict coaching to her practice to empower her clients. Sally is certified to administer a conflict assessment instrument known as the Conflict Dynamics Profile which highlights behavioral patterns and how those patterns can be reinforced or corrected, resulting in a more confident and willing approach to resolving conflicts.
