At Georgia Family Mediation, I use three core skills—validation, listening, and curiosity—to help couples communicate differently. These tools, rooted in my therapy background, help reduce conflict and build understanding.

Marital mediation offers couples a way forward—focused not on the past, but on the present and future. Unlike therapy, it’s not about emotional excavation; it’s about practical resolution. For partners ready to problem-solve instead of pathologize, this alternative approach helps renegotiate the relationship on new terms—together.

Conflict can’t be resolved without listening. At the heart of every disagreement is a need to be heard and understood. Active listening—paired with genuine curiosity—helps us move from defensiveness to connection. It’s not about agreeing, but about understanding. When couples listen with empathy, even the toughest conversations can lead to clarity, validation, and a stronger relationship.
