Divorce is a stressful and over whelming process. Most couples have to begin the daunting decisions about the kids, parenting plans, budgets, and what to do with the family home. These are all compounded by the emotional strain and new financial stress of a divorce. As a trained mediator and conflict resolution real estate agent in family law, I understand the importance of addressing the needs of both parties as an unbiased and neutral, third party person. I will work with each person individually or together as much or as little as they see fit. I will assist my clients in making the best decision possible for all parties and guide them through the process.

Bringing forth the voice of the child has been the center of my work for 16 years as a mental health counselor. Experienced in the collaborative divorce process, my role as a child specialist is to convey to parents and/or their collaborative divorce team, the unique experience and needs of their children and suggest practices that increase the resilience of the family as a whole. The goal of my work is to support parents in building a cooperative parenting relationship and creating a child-centered parenting schedule that fulfills the future vision they hold for their family.

My goal of giving my clients respectful and compassionate guidance means that I make an honest effort to understand my clients circumstances, their hopes, and their preferred outcomes. I understand first-hand how hard divorce can be, and have seen how hard it is for a child. At times, disputes are so painful that clients feel compelled to escalate conflict. I listen carefully and deeply to my clients in order to achieve their long-term goals.

The collaborative process is a constructive approach to the dissolution process rather than relying on the courts through litigation. As a family law attorney with over twenty years of family law experience and training in both mediation and the collaborative approach to resolving disputes, I can help you to fully appreciate the benefits of the collaborative process.

In working with couples as a mental health counselor, I have found that even people who are very angry with each other, long for a time when they could be positively related. I work with that premise in mind, when helping establish a life beyond divorce. I am an advocate for children when their wellbeing is subject to decisions from the court. I offer post divorce co-parenting groups, two running concurrently so that each parent can be in his or her own group. See my website.
