Susan's Story
-
Born and raised in Chicago and moved to Southern Minnesota in 2009.
​
-
Single mom of 2 daughters- the oldest being a college graduate having a degree in Criminal Justice and the youngest being in First Grade.
​
-
I LOVE Summer- Sun, warmth, blue sky, green grass, and birds chirping!
​
-
Divorced in 2018 after being in a conflict-filled marriage with a chemically dependent person. Because of children being involved and safety concerns, this led me to experience the Courts, attempts with various types of ADR, and, ultimately, establishing a restraining order. Due to the personal experience of it all, I am incredibly grateful to be trained as a family mediator so that I can continue to help, support and guide individuals/families away from conflict
