Going through any massive life change, let alone divorce, can be difficult. Shell was open and supportive through the whole mediation process and allowed us to take the time we needed to speak and come to a reasonable agreement. I would recommend anyone looking at mediation to at least speak with Shell and learn about the journey ahead of them. Thank you, Shell.

Shell is truly exceptional. I remember arriving at our first meeting feeling nervous, anxious, and uncertain about what to expect or how the process would help moving forward. From the moment she introduced herself with a warm smile, I felt reassured that everything would be alright.She clearly explained her process, how the mediation would unfold, and what we needed to prepare in advance. Communicating with her is effortlessshe responds promptly to emails and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure both parties feel heard and satisfied.Shell is professional, well-prepared, and highly organized. She follows all necessary protocols and provides direct, constructive feedback when needed, always with fairness in mind.I would highly recommend Shell to anyone considering mediationshe is efficient, compassionate, and dedicated to helping parties reach resolution.
