New Prospects Dispute Resolution
New Prospects Dispute Resolution
We offer mediation services across a wide range of disputes, including those related to employment, personal injury, business issues, strata, real estate, wills, and small claims. Our approach is designed to facilitate meaningful and transformative conversations that foster empathy, bridge divides, and promote intercultural understanding among individuals from diverse backgrounds.
In family matters, we also support the resolution of conflicts involving pets. If you and your former partner both wish to remain involved in your pet's life, mediation can be a preferable alternative to court, where a judge may grant sole custody to one party. Through mediation, both parties have the opportunity to reach a mutually agreeable arrangement for shared “ownership,” providing the best chance for both of you to remain actively involved in your pet’s care.
Our goal is to create a collaborative space that allows for thoughtful and lasting solutions to all types of conflicts.
We provide remote services across North America and in-person services in British Columbia.
Mediation is a problem solving process in which disputing parties, with the assistance of the mediator are sharing their perspectives, exploring their interests, and generating their own solutions to resolving their conflict. Part of the success of mediation lies in the fact that, as a process, it encourages resolution and reconciliation.

Mediation is a more affordable, less stressful alternative to court, centered on finding workable solutions for everyone involved rather than assigning blame. It protects your privacy, so you can freely express your concerns and desired outcomes without the pressure of public disclosure. By allowing all parties to be heard and to clear the air, mediation reduces tensions, lessens resentment, and can even strengthen relationships. Our process prioritizes understanding and cooperation, often transforming conflicts into opportunities for growth.
Our approach focuses on identifying key leverage points that drive both structural and relational changes, creating the foundation for sustainable, positive relationships. We empower individuals and organizations to harness conflict as a tool for personal growth and collective transformation, helping them restore and build meaningful connections. Recognizing that breakthrough insights often emerge from fresh perspectives, we partner with business leaders to cultivate a responsive, resilient culture within their organizations, emphasizing the importance of a cohesive team.
In addition to mediation, New Prospects Dispute Resolution offers personalized coaching to help you clarify goals, develop your skills, and market yourself effectively. We’re committed to supporting your success every step of the way. Reach out today to explore how we can assist you.

As a mediator, I bring a strong intercultural competency and ability to recognize and understand the cultural differences that shape people’s perspectives, emotions, and actions. This cultural sensitivity allows me to bridge divides that might otherwise create misunderstandings or heighten conflict. I’m skilled at addressing and clarifying these complexities, fostering an environment where each person feels respected, understood, and open to collaborative problem-solving. This approach helps reduce stress and confusion, making it easier for all parties to work together toward a positive resolution.
As a trainer, I have conducted numerous workshops for clients in various industries, focusing on core topics such as conflict resolution, cross-cultural communication, creating respectful workplaces, and fostering effective teamwork. These workshops are designed to be hands-on and engaging, giving participants practical skills they can immediately use. I help people build confidence in handling disputes constructively, and guide participants in navigating differences with understanding and empathy.
Each workshop aims to empower individuals and teams with skills that not only enhance their immediate work environments but also support lasting positive relationships. My goal is to provide knowledge and strategies that inspire real change, helping people and organizations to build stronger, more cohesive, and resilient connections.
My expertise in conflict coaching lies in fostering understanding between conflicting parties and guiding them toward a future-focused strategy. My approach emphasizes clear communication, empathy, and practical steps to help both sides move forward collaboratively. I work to empower you, helping you shift from past issues to actionable solutions that build stronger, lasting relationships. I’m here to provide the time and support you need.
