Divorce Services

I am committed to helping separating and divorcing clients reach sensible agreements about living separate lives through mediation, collaborative divorce, child specialist assistance, and divorce coaching. 

Mediation.  As a mediator, I create a safe, respectful environment that allows clients to speak freely and feel understood with compassion so that they can craft a sensible agreement cost-effectively that will works for both of them—and especially the children. 

Collaborative Practice.  As a member of the New York Association for Collaborative Practice, I provide support as a Child Specialist, Individual Coach, and Neutral Coach to clients who wish to have attorneys fully involved in the divorce process.   

Child Specialist.  As a child specialist and former Adjunct Professor in Child Development, I guide separating parents in communicating and co-parenting more effectively in order to protect the children from the emotional impact of the transition.  Because of my background in Child Development, I am well equipped to help parents devise a sensible parenting plan that is tailored to the developmental and special needs of the children.  

Divorce Coach.  As an individual coach, I help clients prepare for collaborative meetings emotionally so that they can hear one another and express their needs in a way that will be valued and heard.  As a neutral coach for the team, I help clients prepare for collaborative meetings and also keep the process moving forward efficiently and respectfully, including diffusing difficult emotions that may arise during meetings.
