I've been working in the field of divorce for twenty years professionally.  45 years personally.  I was 7 when my parents divorced and looking back, impressed (and grateful) with how well they managed the process.  I've also survived and been humbled by my own divorce with a 5 year old (now 15!) who is thriving. 

I know how hard divorce is
on so many levels.

I founded coparentingWELL, LLC, in hopes of meeting the needs of many uncoupled, separated, and divorced parents who need help rebuilding their coparenting relationship as well as creating structure and stability for their children despite any level of conflict.

Many parents, mediators, and family law attorneys were calling to get answers about how break-ups and divorces impact kids.  What schedules are developmentally appropriate and how to create a plan that grows with the family?

Mom's and Dad's called worried that they were trapped in parenting agreements that no longer worked for them or they were ready to remarry and blend their families, which required new ways of thinking together.

Others called because their coparenting partner was "impossible" or a "narcissist" and wanted to know how they could continue to participate.  

And some called asking, "What the hell is coparenting all about anyway?  Why should they do it?"

Why?

Your commitment to creating the most secure, thoughtful coparenting relationship and agreements for your family will help alleviate frustration and the feelings of guilt, overwhelm and worry that accompany divorce.

It can provide a foundation on which to build upon again and will be more relevant to your current situation.

You'll find I'm warm-hearted, understanding, no-nonsense, and realistic.  I talk the talk and I also walk the walk.

I'm an expert in family systems, trauma, divorce, & child development.

I have a passion for helping couples and families move through various stages of divorce.

You know that having an effective coparenting relationship & plan for how to do this is key to building lifelong resilience for children of divorce.

You also know this is hard to do on your own.
