Restorative intent offers a range of services and interventions to address difficult and sensitive interpersonal and group situations effectively and creatively.

Challenges and Opportunities

Conflict presents a real opportunity for people to learn, grow and develop mutual understanding.  Conflict situations challenge us to learn about ourselves, “the other”, and the wider context; they provide an opportunity for people to express what is important and valuable in their lives, what is missing, and what they need. Through facilitation, restorative practices, dialogue, coaching and mediation, Restorative intent offers the support people need to make the most of this opportunity.

Based in Columbia County, New York, Restorative intent works with organizations, families,schools and farming communities in the Hudson Valley, the Capital District and beyond.

I have always been passionate about human relations – the nature of how people live, work and play together, communicate and coexist. My earlier careers in education and the performing arts have contributed to my work in conflict resolution and restorative practices. For over 20 years my work has focused on workplace, family, community and agricultural mediation, restorative justice, and conflict coaching in the US, the United Kingdom, West Africa and Europe.
