Relationship Consultation For the Indecisive Client
Deciding whether or not to separate can be overwhelming. I help clients sort through this difficult decision so that they can feel confident in their chosen direction. The clarity gained from this process results in firmer decision making, greater confidence, and reduced stress.
Individual Therapy
Many clients need extra support during the separation process. When there are signs of stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-worth, working with a Registered Psychotherapist can help. I work with clients to reduce stress and improve their overall mental health. An emotionally healthy client is better able to participate in difficult conversations, make good decisions for themselves and their families, and successfully and more quickly resolve issues in dispute.
Co-Parent Consultation
How do we tell our kids that we are separating? How do we help our children transition to two homes? Will our kids be okay with divorced parents? These are common concerns that get addressed in my office. I support parents through the separation process, helping them transition to a co-parenting relationship that provides children with consistency, stability, and love.
Communication/Conflict Resolution Coaching
I provide a therapeutic space for separating couples to develop stronger communication skills and
more effective ways to resolve conflict. Research clearly indicates that children are harmed by their parents’ fighting. Meeting in a safe environment provides the opportunity for constructive conversations to take place that will positively impact the entire family.
Family Therapy
I strive to provide a safe environment where difficult conversations can unfold. Sometimes it is helpful for the entire family to meet for one session or more to talk about the changes and transitions happening in their family.
Parenting Plans
I bring 19+ years of successfully working with individuals, couples, and families in a therapeutic context to my mediation work. My focus is helping parents create a new story for their family as they move from one home to two—emphasizing the needs of their children as a top priority in the process. Unlike a court-based process, mediation allows the parents to create a fair plan that takes their own family circumstances into account. Living arrangements for the children, holidays, and extra-curricular activities are a few of the areas to be covered in creating a parenting plan. The completed parenting plan gets reviewed by both lawyers before being made into a legal document.
