As a psychologist and a mediator working inside the court system for over ten years, I have extensive experience with couples that are going through the divorce process and their children. With the understanding of the court process, I am convinced of the superiority of Collaborative Practice and I act as a divorce coach and child specialist.
As a divorce coach, I assist my client in achieving their goals for settlement and for their family by focusing on their strengths and helping them build effective communication skills. I am also an expert in child development and how divorce effects children of all ages and as a child specialist, I use this expertise to bring the child's voice into the process. I am extremely committed to helping parents reduce the negative effects of divorce and separation on their children and themselves!
