Families deserve to separate with dignity. Leaders deserve to resolve with clarity. A private practice in Utah, San Diego, and New York — built on trust, neuroscience, and the belief that every conflict holds the possibility of peace.
Neuroscience-informed mediation — understanding how conflict shapes our decisions, and creating the conditions to think more clearly through it. This is what sets this practice apart.
About
I have watched families fracture — not from a lack of love, but from a lack of a safe place to land. I founded Casa di Reza because I believe every uncoupling, every custody arrangement, every business dispute deserves more than a battlefield. It deserves a room where people are actually heard.
My work is shaped by the Gottman Institute's conflict resolution methods and brain health principles from Amen University — bringing both the science of how we fight and the science of how we reach agreements that protect what matters most into every session.
With a private practice spanning Utah, San Diego, and New York, I serve families, executives, and business leaders who need a trusted, neutral space to find resolution.
"My deepest hope is that every parent who walks through this process walks out still able to look their child in the eye together — and know they chose resolution over conflict for the people who needed them most."
Ruth brings a background in administrative support, client communication, and project coordination — the organizational backbone that keeps client-facing work running without friction. She has hands-on experience managing schedules, coordinating tasks across teams, and creating a steady, responsive experience for everyone she supports.
At Casa di Reza, she manages intake, coordinates scheduling, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks between sessions — so every client gets a prompt, organized experience from first contact onward. Her focus on clarity and follow-through means Blue can stay fully present in the room, knowing the details are already handled.
"I believe the best support is invisible — when everything runs smoothly, a client never has to think about how it's happening. They just feel taken care of."
Services
Whether you are navigating the end of a marriage or an executive impasse, every engagement receives the same caliber of care, preparation, and absolute discretion.
Uncoupling doesn't have to be a war. I create a structured, compassionate space for families to reach fair agreements on assets, living arrangements, and the future — with far less cost and damage than adversarial proceedings.
Core PracticeChildren deserve stability. I help parents move through the pain of separation toward workable, child-centered parenting plans — arrangements that hold up over time because both parents had a real voice in creating them.
Core PracticeWhen CEOs, founding partners, or HR teams face an impasse, I facilitate private, high-stakes mediation — confidential sessions designed to restore alignment, resolve workplace conflict, and protect what has been built.
Growing PracticePartnership disputes, workplace conflict, and HR challenges call for a neutral third party who understands both the human and financial dimensions. Whether it's a startup navigating team dynamics or an established company facing employee disputes, mediation preserves relationships, culture, and productivity — without the cost of litigation.
Growing PracticeThe Casa di Reza Approach
Casa di Reza is not just a name. It is an intention. Every session is held as a space of genuine stillness: no agendas, no winners, no losers. Only the shared work of finding a way forward.
What makes this practice different is the integration of neuroscience. Conflict activates the brain's threat response — which means people in dispute are often operating with a narrowed perception and heightened reactivity. When the prefrontal cortex — the seat of reason and empathy — is offline, lasting resolution becomes nearly impossible without the right conditions. By understanding what is happening in the brain during conflict, we can create the conditions for real resolution rather than forced agreement.
Because uncoupling isn't just legal and financial — your process here holds space for what the body carries through conflict too.
"Research shows the body holds the impact of conflict long after agreements are signed. This practice was built with that in mind."
How It Works
A private 20-minute call to understand your situation and see whether mediation is the right path forward. No obligation.
Each party completes a confidential intake. Blue reviews everything and sets the agenda for productive, safe dialogue.
Structured sessions — joint and individual, in person or virtual — guide all parties toward real understanding and concrete agreements.
A clear written memorandum of agreement is drafted. Where needed, Blue coordinates with legal counsel for ratification.
