Profile Introduction

Divorce is difficult, there's no getting around that fact. But, if you are looking for a process which allows you and your family to get through that difficulty with minimum trauma to the children and to yourselves, then I recommend Collaborative Divorce for you. It puts you in control of making the decisions which will leave you legally, financially and emotionally whole. Your family will be changed, and growing in a healthy direction.

I can provide you with vital support as your Divorce Coach or Child Specialist, as part of your Collaborative Divorce Team. My years of working with couples and relationships in all stages of development have prepared me to help you in reaching the goals which you wish to obtain. These goals would include the needs of the family both during and after your divorce. And I can help you develop a visitation plan which would benefit your children and help you learn how to co-parent them toward an emotionally healthy future.

I can help you learn to communicate in a way which will decrease the emotional pain and conflict of the past, so that you and your partner can make the legal and financial decisions driven not by emotion, but on good solid reasoning, based on the long term best interest of your family.

As your Divorce Coach or Child Specialist, let me help you achieve your divorce goals through the Collaborative Divorce process. It is a better procedure than an adversarial, litigated divorce, because it puts you in charge of your lives during and after the divorce, rather than giving that responsibility to a judge, who knows little about you and your family.
