Need to Schedule an Appointment?
Enjoy a free 30-minute consultation with Jessica. During your consultation, Jessica will listen to your concerns and explain which service best suits your needs. Based on your unique circumstances, Jessica will work with you to develop a plan to bring Calm to your Chaos.
Before your appointment, write a list of key topics you want to discuss. This will help you stay organized and avoid forgetting important issues.
Parenting Coordination
This appointment is for existing clients to schedule time to meet with Jessica to provide updates or further information she may require to help resolve any parenting disputes.
Mediation
Schedule your mediation with Jessica. Mediation is billed at $250 per hour and requires a 2-hour minimum. During this time, Jessica will work with both parties and their attorneys to resolve any outstanding issues in their case. Mediation is your best chance to reach an agreement and avoid costly trials.
Your Questions, Answered
-
Yes.
Mediation communications are confidential under Florida's Mediation Confidentiality and Privilege Act (Fla. Stat. §44.401–§44.405). What is said during mediation generally cannot be disclosed or used as evidence in court, which allows both parties to speak openly enough to resolve the issue.
There are narrow exceptions set by statute, including a signed written agreement, a threat of bodily harm, or a required report of abuse or neglect, and I will explain those before we begin.
Your free 30-minute consultation is a private intake conversation rather than a mediation session; it is treated with the same discretion, and I'll walk you through exactly how confidentiality applies to your situation before you commit to anything.
-
No.
The free 30-minute consultation is for you alone, and it is completely normal for one person to reach out first. We'll use that time to talk through your situation, whether mediation, parenting coordination, or collaborative divorce is the right fit, and what the process would look like.
Mediation requires both parties to participate, so if we move forward, I'll explain how to approach the other person or reach out to them directly, whichever feels more workable for you. As a neutral, I don't represent either side, so you can both call me with questions.

I combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what I do, but how I do it that sets me apart.

Both options are available, and virtual is fully equivalent, not a lesser version.
I mediate by secure video across all of Florida, and meet in person throughout Central Florida, including Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Sumter Counties, plus virtual sessions statewide.
Virtual sessions are often the better choice in high-conflict situations, because parties can be placed in separate virtual rooms and never have to sit across a table from each other. They also remove travel, childcare, and time-off-work barriers that stop people from scheduling in the first place.
-
Free 30-minute consultations are usually available within 3 to 5 business days, and full mediation sessions are typically available within 1-2 weeks, depending on both parties' availability.
If your matter is time-sensitive, a court deadline, an upcoming hearing, or an urgent co-parenting issue, let me know when you book, and I will do my best to accommodate it.
Mediation is billed at $250 per hour, with no charge for the initial consultation. You can book online, or call or text (813) 449-2500.

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. I am here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
