Donna has a legal background and 30 years of practice as a mediator. She is a highly experienced and accredited family dispute resolution practitioner, FDRP and NMAS accredited mediator.

Donna works with people to define their mediation goals and to work out a meeting format they will feel comfortable with. This ensures that the mediation session can be tailored to fit the needs of participants.

During mediation (called “family dispute resolution” when separated parents are discussing arrangements for their children) Donna assists people to talk about their views in a private, supportive and respectful environment. Attendance at mediation can increase peoples’ understanding of each other’s perspectives and lead to workable agreements.

Mediation can assist to resolve a wide range of issues, including arrangements for children, property and finances after separation, workplace conflict and cases already in the court system.
