Divorce, Custody & Co-Parenting in Atlanta

The Problem: Court battles drain resources, stretch on indefinitely, and put children in the crossfire.

The Alternative: Mediation typically resolves in significantly less time and at a fraction of the cost—while keeping you in control of the outcome.

What We Address:

• Custody and co-parenting arrangements

• Child and spousal support

• Division of assets and debts

• Living arrangements

What Makes This Different:

I help you regulate your emotions first using body-based techniques. Unlike attorney-mediators who focus on legal positioning, I address the long-held patterns from your lineages that drive conflict. When everyone can calm down together, real resolution becomes possible.

Best For:

✓ Parents who want to protect children from warfare
✓ Families who want control over outcomes
✓ People willing to do hard work of listening

Estate Disputes & Inheritance Conflicts in Georgia

The Problem: Families spend substantial resources fighting in probate court, depleting the very inheritance they're trying to protect—and destroying relationships in the process.

The Alternative: Mediation addresses both the practical (who gets what) and the emotional (why it feels unfair) at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time.

What We Address:

• Asset distribution disputes

• Executor conflicts

• Claims of undue influence

• Unequal distributions and hurt they cause

• Family business succession tied to inheritance

What Makes This Different:

I understand probate conflict isn't just about money—it's about legacy, being seen, and old family roles carried through generations. This is especially important for Black families in Georgia where land and inheritance carry specific historical meaning.

Best For:

✓ Families exhausted by fighting
✓ People willing to hear hard truths
✓ Those who value legacy over "winning"

Conflict Resolution for Family-Owned Businesses

The Problem: Family business conflicts threaten both the business and the family. Court battles make everything worse.

The Solution: Mediation resolves disputes around leadership, succession, and ownership before they destroy what you've built.

What We Address:

• Leadership and decision-making disputes

• Succession planning

• Ownership disputes and buyouts

• Performance vs. family loyalty tensions

• Boundary issues between personal and professional

What Makes This Different:

Traditional business mediators miss family dynamics. Traditional family mediators miss business stakes. I bring both. I understand that conflicts about "strategic direction" often carry generations of family patterns about whose vision gets honored, whose sacrifice gets recognized, who matters.

Best For:

✓ Conflicts threatening both operations and family
✓ People willing to examine power dynamics
✓ Families who want to preserve both business and relationships

Unlike attorney-mediators who focus on legal positioning, I bring clinical training in body-based conflict resolution that addresses what's really driving your conflict.

My approach integrates:

• Regulation first – Helping you calm your nervous system so you can think clearly

• Working with parts – Using Internal Family Systems to understand protective reactions

• Multi-party regulation – Everyone calms down together using Intimacy from the Inside Out principles

• Conflict resolution that honors all side – A table outside broken systems, grounded in African traditions of community dialogue (palaver) where everyone’s dignity is respected

• You control the outcome – I create conditions for clear thinking; you make decisions

This isn't standard mediation. It's mediation informed by deep understanding of how conflict lives in bodies, families, and lineages.
