ADR current activity: Mediator. She tackles conflict with a transformative approach, and says: “I believe that when it comes to conflicts, everyone is their own predicament’s most knowledgeable expert. As outsiders, all professionals can aim to do is offer their support, with no pretense of being able to fully comprehend the mechanisms of each individual life. In the transformative approach I have found a practice that gives me permission to feel wholly coherent with this ideal, as well as trust in both parties and respect of their free will”.
