Elder Mediation is a new area of mediation in Florida. Like all mediations it is private, confidential and completely voluntary. Mediators facilitate a purposeful and directed conversation in which family members are encouraged to express their interests and concerns. Meetings are informal and are held in locations which meet the family’s needs including private homes, mediators’ offices and senior living facilities or virtually via Zoom. 

As the mediator I am certified by the Florida Supreme Court in Family, Dependency, and Circuit mediation.   As a neutral facilitator who does not provide advice or “take sides” in these discussions. The goals of mediation are twofold. First to allow families to create workable and mutually acceptable solutions to their difficult disputes, and second to develop communication strategies to enable them to successfully work together to make important decisions in the future.
