I would love to help make sure your story has a happy ending. I have been where you are and I know that at some point our stories have already or will align. I know first-hand about all the feelings and thoughts.

This is one moment that can alter your life dramatically for you and your children. I want you to hear all the ugly truths that most people won't share or admit. All while saving you time, money and stress!

I'm here to help you in any way I can:

• Mediate your divorce

• Coach you through your divorce

• Help you co-parent with your ex

• Become part of your support network

Never in a million years did I think that I would quit teaching to do this for a living but I have zero regrets and I know this is what I was meant to do with my life.

I would love to hear your story!
