My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families at a crossroads navigating marriage, divorce, or family systems in conflict. They may be struggling with infidelity, co-parenting disputes, or the emotional and financial fallout of separation. They come ready to work, not just talk. Together we construct a clear understanding of the problem and co-create a concrete action plan. Clients practice new patterns of behavior in and out of sessions. I am a change agent, integrating psychotherapy with life coaching to produce true, fundamental change.
I specialize in divorce mediation, high-conflict couples, and family transitions. With 30+ years of clinical expertise and coaching training, I offer a strategic, solution-focused approach building a concrete action plan so clients experience real change fast.
I know how overwhelming it feels when the people you love most have become your greatest source of pain. Whether you're trying to save your relationship or end it with dignity, you don't have to figure this out alone. I'll meet you exactly where you are. Reaching out is the hardest step. I'm glad you're here.
