There are few more important moments in a person’s life than deciding whether to end a relationship. Similarly, there are few more confronting situations than when a partner has made this choice without your knowledge. I work with clients in this early stage of separation to help them make sense of their thoughts and emotions and better manage this difficult situation.

Once a relationship has ended, a wide range of emotions are commonly felt including grief, anger, depression, anxiety, stress, and uncertainty about the future. I offer a safe place to experience and make sense of these feelings and take the first steps through this stage of divorce.

Where children are involved, outcomes for everyone are improved if supportive and respectful child custody and co-parenting arrangements are in place. Developing strategies, managing frustrations, improving communication with children, and finding positive ways to engage with a co-parent are all supported in the work I do with separated fathers and mothers.

Creating a life after divorce can be exciting but intimidating. When working with clients at this stage of divorce, I help them clarify their values, establish independent goals, and create new relationships, leading to reconciliation with the past and a happier future.
