Everything you need to resolve conflict with ease.
Effective, affordable mediation and conflict resolution for individuals and organizations.
At The Resolved Approach, I help individuals and organizations resolve conflict through mediation, coaching, training, and ombuds services. With me as your partner, you’ll walk away having resolved your current conflict and feeling more prepared to handle what’s next. Services are offered virtually and in-person in the Greater Greenville, SC, region.

Are you managing conflict as well as you could be?
If conflict is holding you back, I can help.
Dealing with conflict and difficult conversations doesn’t come naturally to many people. So many of us have never had guidance on how to productively communicate, work through disagreements, and truly resolve issues. Disputes in your relationships, workplaces, and organizations can shake you up and leave you not knowing where to turn.
… Do you hire a lawyer?
… Take it to your employer’s HR representative (if you have one)?
… Just hope that people can work it out themselves without support?
Avoiding conflict is a drain on your energy, and litigation can be a huge drain on your finances. Even more importantly, neither of these options really makes the situation feel resolved.
But there’s a better way.
When you choose conflict resolution services like mediation, training, or coaching, you choose to take control of the situation, allow everyone to be heard, resolve the issue, and truly move forward.
Find the right conflict resolution resource for you
Effective, affordable support for individuals and organizations.
For individuals:
Dealing with divorce, family disagreements, or other interpersonal conflict can be difficult. You worry about whether you need (or could even afford) a lawyer. You have no idea how to come to a resolution that keeps your sanity intact. And where do you even begin to figure it all out?
When we work together for mediation or coaching, you’ll get the guidance you need every step of the way to resolve your situation efficiently and affordably. You deserve an outcome that allows you to be heard, reach agreement, and move on.
For organizations:
Organizational conflict and other internal issues can negatively impact productivity, employee morale, and your overall culture. When turmoil comes up, you know you want to resolve the issues you can see - but what if there are more issues under the surface? And how can you plan for the future?
The Resolved Approach offers ombuds services, mediation, and training to organizations of all sizes. Whether you need complete guidance on starting an ombuds office or affordable conflict resolution services, I can craft a customized plan that finally puts your issues to rest and strengthens your organization for the future.
