Circuit and District Court Mediator, Baltimore County. Board President, CASA of Baltimore County.
Mediation, a cost-effective alternative to litigation, is founded on the belief that you know what is best for yourself and your family. It is efficient, empowering and 100% confidential. Unlike conventional legal processes that place decisions in the hands of the courts, mediation puts the power back in yours. As an advanced mediator for the Baltimore County Courts, I apply mediation techniques to guide disputing parties toward clarity and resolution – on their terms. In my parallel role as Board President of CASA of Baltimore County, I bring a deep commitment to foster care advocacy, mentorship, and strengthening family connections.
