Our Philosophy

Supportive Mediation for Life and Work Transitions

We believe that divorce doesn’t have to be a battleground—it can be a measured turning point. We’ve lived that truth ourselves, and we carry it into every case we take on.

Our mission is to make the mediation process accessible, practical, and hopeful. We structure our services to encourage effective communication and reward cooperation, because we know firsthand that respectful dialogue lays the groundwork for lasting outcomes.

That’s why we offer flat-rate packages for most services—no surprises with hourly billing. Our services are tailored to the complexity of your situation, not just the clock. Wherever you are in your process, we’ll meet you there.

Our Core Values

Empowering Dialogue, Encouraging Resolution

At Upturn Resolutions, our practice is grounded in values that reflect who we are as professionals as as partners.

Respectful Communication

Our mediation style creates space for organized and balanced dialogue, even when emotions run high.

Transparency & Fairness

We offer clear, flat-rate pricing and tailor our services to your needs—not a one-size-fits-all model.

Efficiency with Care

Whether you’re navigating complex issues or wrapping up final details, we help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Empowerment through Resolution

 Our goal is not just to settle disputes, but to help clients build a better next chapter—on their own terms.

Our Story

If you're preparing for divorce, we've been where you are. We were married young, and like many couples, we brought love, ambition, and big dreams into our marriage. But by 2020, we were headed to divorce court. We had built successful careers but lost sight of the communication, compromise, and connection that make a marriage work.

One thing we did get right was how we ended things: with respect, care, and a commitment to peace. We chose mediation over litigation, and it made all the difference!

Mediation not only shaped how we separated—it shaped how we healed. Instead of a lengthy, overwhelming adversarial court process, we chose to take control of our situation and find our own solutions through mediation.

This approach allowed us to maintain respect, move forward with dignity, eventually rebuild trust, and ultimately, find our way back to one another. In 2024, we remarried—not because we erased the past, but because we learned from it. Today, we bring that same compassion, professionalism, and personal understanding into our mediation practice. At Upturn Resolutions, we help people navigate difficult transitions with clarity and calm. Whether your goal is to move forward separately or simply to communicate better, we’re here to guide the process without judgment, and with hope for calmer days ahead.
