Gabrielle is known for her unique, non-toxic approach to divorce that she has developed over twenty five years. She keeps 99% of her cases out of the courtroom and at the negotiating table, as she effectively supports her clients to create a healthy, uplifted post-divorce life for them.

Her parents split when she and her brother were children in the 1980s. Even when the road was bumpy, they resolved their differences out of court and modeled positive co-parenting. When she clerked for Judge Sunshine in the divorce court in New York City both in private practice and clerking for a judge, she realized that her parents were onto something.

Gabrielle created The Better Apart® Blitz Mediation to help people move through and beyond the divorce process with minimal stress and maximum ease.

When Gabrielle was a baby lawyer mediation was not widely accepted or respected.  After working for years to create a streamlined effective practice model that is delivered across the country online.

Today Gabrielle offers The Better Apart® Total Practice Makeover to help divorce professionals  to create their optimal divorce mediation practice.
