SEPARATION & DIVORCE

It’s my goal to help make your separation or divorce process as smooth and efficient as possible, with the best possible outcomes for you and your family.

As a Psychologist and Marriage & Family Therapist with a special focus on separation/divorce for over 20 years, I offer Integrated Divorce Services. which means that I work independently and within teams with trusted professional colleagues to provide the family-focused services that will help your separation process be as smooth and efficient as possible with the best possible outcomes. 

While the general  tasks that need to be completed are the same for every separation, each family has unique values and goals, traditions and culture, strengths and vulnerabilities, circumstances, and history. I bring a depth of understanding and many years of experience to whatever is involved and challenging for my clients.
