Peace-faking, both with yourself and with others, usually seems easier than dealing with conflict directly. I help bring about peace-making: finding authentic and lasting tools to fight self-sabotage and unhealthy relationship patterns. A variety of life experiences have prepared me for this calling, including policy work on Capitol Hill and more than a decade of practice in mediation in the context of family relationships and education. I get plenty of practice at peace-making at home with my best friend/husband Craig and our four children.
