Description of Practice
I work with families to create parenting agreements that consider the needs and desires of the children and the reality of family dynamics and resources. When families design their own agreements, they are more likely to reflect family values and the goals they have for their children’s lives. A solid parenting agreement can guide the coparenting relationship going further and most can be completed in 2 – 3 sessions. As a convenience to families, I provide services via conference call and online.
Why I Do This Work
My goal is to help parents navigate the minefield, mystery, and magic of coparenting through separation and divorce. As a coparent educator, I have worked with over 3500 parents who’ve struggled with the sometimes confusing and chaotic world of coparenting. I have conducted over 350 mediations. While I only work with the parents, I do the work for the children. A healthy coparenting relationship will not only reduce the chaos and uncertainty in the parent’s lives but will give the child the sense of peace and security they deserve.
My Strengths
I have over 16 year of experience helping parents understand the importance of having a healthy child-focused coparenting relationship, for their benefit and the benefit of the children. Together we can identify coparenting strategies that work for them. My superpower is to be patient and compassionate while this growth and learning is taking place and to always remember that …. it’s easier to raise a healthy child than to fix a broken adult… Fredrick Douglass
