How we will work together

I bring a dynamic, candid and clarifying presence that propels individuals navigating complex life transitions into their best possible future. Our work together helps all involved to:

• Clarify their values and vision for their life and key relationship

• Improve their emotional regulation and self-awareness

• Master the process of agreement making

• Prepare thoughtfully for negotiation, mediation, or co-parenting conversations

• Avoid destructive conflict cycles

• Make sustainable, self-honoring decisions

I orient our focus towards collaboration and context. I don’t see conflict as something that exists in isolation—and I don’t approach resolution as a one-size-fits-all solution. That being said: mediation and conscious uncoupling sessions follow a structure that keeps everyone clear, aware and moving forward toward common goals.

Everything I do is grounded in the broader landscape of each client’s life. Outside of our sessions, I actively coordinate with lawyers, educators, therapists, coaches, and other support professionals. Clients get connected into a web of care—ensuring that the resources around them are aligned, responsive, and tailored to their unique needs. Whether it’s through direct support or finding you with the right therapist, legal advocate, educator, or other specialist, I offer personalized guidance to ensure you’re getting exactly what you need—when you need it most (and not anything you don’t).

Working together means gaining not only clarity in the moment, and access to a deeper, enriched support system that fosters long-term growth, healing, and forward movement.

My Approach

With over 25 years of experience as a leadership psychologist, organizational development expert and relational coach, I bring both clinical expertise and a deep commitment to human connection. Drawing on a unique background in parenting, psychology, and organizational leadership, my strength lies in creating the necessary conditions for change, and making high-stakes decisions with clarity, integrity, and resilience.

At the core of my work is a simple belief: even in conflict, most people want to act with integrity. We want to honor ourselves without causing harm to others. Yet under stress, our ability to think clearly, communicate effectively, and make wise decisions often breaks down. That’s where I come in.

As a mediator, I help create the conditions for constructive, truthful conversations that lead to meaningful, lasting agreements. Most adults—and even experienced leaders—aren’t taught how to craft agreements that support both individual needs and group wellbeing. In mediation, we don’t just focus on what the agreement is—we also explore how it’s made, ensuring both parties understand the relational and practical dynamics that support sustainable outcomes.

When mediation isn’t the right fit, or when deeper personal clarity or relational repair is needed, conflict coaching provides one-on-one support. Through coaching, clients reconnect with their core values, work through past wounds, and begin to shift patterns—especially important in ongoing dynamics like co-parenting.

My goal is to strengthen our collective relational capacity and resolve the roadblocks that interfere with our compassion and self-respect.

Nuts and Bolts of Working Together

Starting something new—especially when emotions are high—can feel daunting. That’s why I’ve designed a process that’s clear, respectful, and paced to meet you where you are. Each step is meant to reduce stress, support thoughtful decision-making, and give both parents space to be heard.

Here’s what you can expect:

1.      Discovery Call: 15 minutes Free of Charge

1. Individual Intake Sessions – We begin by meeting with each parent individually to understand your situation, needs, and goals.

2. Individual Child Assessment – We may directly interact with and assess your child’s behavior, functioning and well-being. In other cases, our assessment is indirect through collecting measures or reviewing past reports.

3. Joint Mediation Sessions – As appropriate, we bring parents together in structured sessions to work through key decisions.

4. Customized Agreements – You’ll walk away with clear written summaries or draft plans to move forward. In certain circumstances, you’ll also have report on your child’s functioning.

Memorandum Of Understanding

WHY SEPERATING PARENTS NEED ONE:

It provides clarity, structure, and a written record of what both parents agreed to.

• It often helps clarify future misunderstandings, as each parent can refer back to what was agreed.

• It serves as the template for future agreements that the co-parents can edit without the guidance of a professional.

• It’s faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than litigation.

What’s included in an MOU created through Parenting Mediation?

An MOU may include:

• Parenting schedule (e.g. weekdays, weekends, holidays, vacations)

• Decision-making responsibilities (e.g. education, health, religion)

• Communication methods between parents

• Transportation logistics (who drops off/picks up, where)

• Exceptions to the normal operating agreements

• Guidelines for relocation possibilities, handling mental health challenges, and introducing new partners.

• Dispute resolution mechanisms (e.g. what to do if there's disagreement later)

• Special considerations (e.g. for children with disabilities, summer camps or internships, or specific routines)

Turning the MOU into a Legal Document

In many jurisdictions:

• You can submit the MOU to court (often through an attorney or during court) to be entered as a stipulated order or parenting plan.

• Once approved, it becomes enforceable by law (e.g. contempt of court if not followed).
