Separation and divorce, whether friendly or filled with conflict, is inevitably accompanied by pain.

Amicable separations may bring the heartache of parting from cherished memories and perhaps grieving the loss of a future you once dreamed of – all while trying to shield the children from emotional turmoil. In contentious separations, these challenges are heightened, intensifying the emotional strain and difficulty of the situation.

I offer a unique blend of personal experience, professional expertise, and unwavering dedication to helping individuals and families navigate the challenging journey of divorce. I have also personally been impacted by divorce with young children. This personal experience has shaped my approach and allowed me to truly empathize with the emotions, uncertainties, and hurdles that come with divorce. At the heart of my practice is a fundamental belief in the importance of prioritizing children's well-being during divorce. I firmly believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and stable environment, even when their parents are going through separation. My approach revolves around creating child-centered solutions and fostering cooperative co-parenting relationships. As a trained therapist, I recognize that divorce is not just a legal process; it's a deeply emotional one as well. I provide a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express their feelings, fears, and hopes.
