MEDLA MEDIATION helps mediate family and/or divorce disputes.  We are highly qualified and impartial mediators; we value the best interests of any children involved; we promote decision-making through self-determination; and we assist in the mediation process by exploring options, encouraging mutual understanding, and focusing on participants' common interests.  We also specialize as parent coordinators, working with families to help improve co-parenting and to help resolve conflict within families. We create plans of action and meet regularly with families in order to best monitor and guide families towards a happier present and future.

Michelle has been a certified teacher and school administrator in the Chicago area since 1997, and has two certificates in Mediation, specializing in Family and Divorce Mediation.  She has enjoyed working with children for the past 25 years, and has two wonderful children of her own.  She has been a single mother for over 20 years, and has first-hand experience with the divorce process, the mediation process, and the economical and emotional stresses associated with it.

Michelle entered into the mediation field because she wanted to help clients work through their parenting and relationship problems in a more positive way by increasing positive communication, reducing costs and emotional stresses, and encouraging decision-making that promotes the best interests of any children involved.
