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.

Rhe (pronounced "Ree") works with clients to secure what she calls a "sustainable divorce." A sustainable divorce is a divorce that does not destroy the relationship between parents or the financial future of either party.
Credentials: Rhe graduated from UW Law School in 1994. She worked as a bailiff in King County Superior Court for one year before starting her family law practice in 1995. Rhe has learned that divorce can be devestating for both parties and strives to keep that from happening to either one.
