Ariel Winger has practiced family law exclusively since 1999 and is passionate about helping parting couples avoid the stress and expense of a court-based divorce/separation. Ariel assists both parties as a Mediator, or one party in non-adversarial negotiations, including Collaborative Practice. Ariel has worked with diverse populations and non-traditional families for over 20 years, including LGBTQ+ and polyamorous couples, and those struggling with mental health issues, addiction, and trauma. Drawing on her study of Buddhism and Non-Violent Communication, Ariel offers compassionate and non-judgmental services to parting couples of all races, ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
