"Mediation is more than a process to resolve conflicts, it is an approach to human interaction that emphasizes empathy, values diversity, and encourages life long learning."
Ruth Johnson
Mediation creates a safe environment that equalizes the power of the parties,
encourages truth and allows both sides to win. Mediators do not judge or determine
the outcome, rather mediators explore the reasons, underlying interests, and issues
that are preventing solutions. When disputes are resolved using mediation, innovative outcomes emerge and individual integrity is maintained.

certification by the Washington Mediation Association. She is also certified by the
