I am a Certified Mediator for the Tenth Judicial Circuit of Illinois, which includes Peoria and Tazewell counties. I have completed intensive training in conflict resolution and divorce mediation, including 40 hours of intensive mediation training with Benedict Schwarz II, J.D., and additional hours of training specifically focused upon impediments and professionalism in mediation.
Mediation rates are $150 per hour, and are paid at the time of the mediation appointment. I accept both court-appointed and private mediation cases, and perform mediation of all family law issues, including property distribution, custody and visitation, maintenance and support, and removal of children from the state.
I strongly believe that individuals faced with difficult divorce issues should make an attempt to fashion a mutual agreement resolving their differences before utilizing the litigation system, except in instances where the issues or the persons involved make mediation impractical or contrary to the best interests of the parties or their children.
