Why do I need a therapist?

Get the Support you Need! Deciding to separate or divorce is complicated and painful. Navigating through a divorce and rebuilding a life after divorce is one of the most challenging transitions anyone can face.  Getting the support you need, gaining perspective, protecting yourself and your children requires strength and commitment.  Getting the support you need at a crucial time can ensure a better outcome, save money on lawyer fees and reduce the pain of transition and the fear of the unknown.

Make Decisions. In a divorce, you are inundated with one decision after another. Your lawyer needs to know what you want most out of your divorce, so YOU need to know what you want.  Develop a framework within which to make difficult decisions.  Get a concrete understanding of your personal values so you stay true to your objectives throughout the process.

I have a lawyer, so why do I need a coach too?  Your lawyer is your advocate in the court system.  The lawyer is representing your needs and priorities within the confines of the legal system. My job is to develop a concrete understanding of what your needs and priorities are, so that you can effectively communicate with your lawyer.  Time with your lawyer is valuable, so I prepare you to make use of your lawyer’s time in the most efficient manner.

Are You Suspecting Parental Alienation? Parental Alienation is a complex, pathological family dynamic.  I can help you with strategies to navigate the challenging and painful co-parenting issues associated with this dynamic.
