A broken relationship can turn your world upside down and create tremendous pain and loneliness. Together with my support, compassion and skill as a divorce coach, you will regain your strength, rebuild your hopes and dreams, and begin to find peace again. In the collaborative process you will be empowered to make sound economic, legal, parental, and personal decisions which will benefit the whole family. I will assist you in this time of transition to create a new kind of harmony in your own life and your children’s lives.

My coaching will:

1. facilitate the resolution in an atmosphere of safety and respect

2. guide you and the process in sensitive and stressful areas and maintain each person’s dignity while we stay focussed on practical future solutions for the family
