As much as divorce marks the end of a marriage, it’s the beginning of a new chapter for everyone involved, a fresh start filled with opportunity. While your lawyer will provide legal counsel, I’ll be on your team to provide advice, support, strategies and solutions to ensure your needs are identified and being met, while helping you navigate the emotions that are sure to come in the days and nights ahead.

Trained as a life coach and a Gottman educator, I work with individuals and couples on topics such as: career transition, building the life that you want, developing space to be creative, improving communication and your relationship with your partner. For all of the goals we set, there are people who want us to succeed and challenges to overcome. As one of those people by your side, as your mentor, cheerleader and guide, I can help you set attainable goals and steadily move forward to reach them. I’ll provide resources, strategies, tools, and education along the way, along with an open mind, open arms, and open ears.

You’ve fallen in love again and you are taking the next steps to restructuring your family. Or maybe you’ve already remarried or moved in together, started settling in with the children and stepchildren but there’s been a bump. Stepfamily life is not the same as an original family. It takes someone who knows it and has lived experience to understand the dynamics. I bring a lens of lived experience plus decades of experience working with children at various stages of development to our work together. I love to help families set themselves up for success and a life of love and support for each other while navigating the tricky waters of custody schedules, stepparent & co-parent dynamics, discipline and more.

I can help you and your co-parent build a parenting plan that is skillful, child-centered and comprehensive. As a coach, I act as your facilitator, mediator and guide to ensure that the children’s needs are considered first and foremost. This gives you and your co-parent a chance to consider the options and what is most developmentally appropriate while also being manageable for you.

While divorce marks the end of your intimate partnership, a co-parent relationship is life long. My goal is to help you and your co-parent find the best ways to communicate with each other and find common ground that allows you to parent across two homes.
I’m here to help guide you through the highs and lows in the years ahead, the expected milestones and unexpected surprises. I have proven parenting and relationship management skills, and can customize them to suit your learning style and specific needs.

LGBTQ families have unique needs due to the discrimination we continue to face in society. As a queer identified parent, spouse and co-parent with my ex-wife, I hold space for my fellow LGBTQ peers. My coaching takes on many forms for you as an individual or as intimate partners working through the often complicated world of marriage, partnerships, parenting, and communicating.
