Collaborative Divorce

Divorce can be an emotionally challenging process, especially when children are involved. As a Collaborative Divorce Mental Health Specialist, I work with families to navigate these challenges in a way that fosters healthier outcomes for everyone involved.

While retaining a mental health specialist may seem like an additional expense, it often saves costs in the long run. By addressing emotional needs and supporting communication, I take on tasks traditionally handled by attorneys—at a significantly lower cost—ensuring you and your children are better prepared for a positive future.
