Divorce is one of the most painful and difficult transitions that you are likely to experience in your life. The process is like a 3-legged stool – with emotional, financial, and legal aspects -- reflected in professionals on your collaborative team. During my over 35 years in practice as a Psychologist and now as a neutral Divorce Specialist, my approach is value based [what’s important to you?] and family systems oriented [how do we help each family member feel safe during a complex time?]. With my strong developmental background, I make sure that children’s voices are heard in this very adult context .
Seasoned divorce professionals comprise our practice group. We have worked well together for many years. You can think of us as peacemakers for your family system, since our interdisciplinary team approach aims to guide you to closure and ideally to resolution of your situation.
