Divorce Coach 

As a divorce coach and family mediator, I partner with individuals and/or couples to guide and support them going through one of life’s most challenging events. I help make the divorce process less daunting and isolating by making sure clients are empowered to find the answers they are seeking from within. By being properly informed, my clients  can avoid costly mistakes and feel more confident moving forward into their new normal.

In my role as a Family Mediator, I provide a safe, caring and thoughtful space where both sides can feel heard, and where they can reach a fair and respectful agreement that reflects their family's unique needs. I can help parents navigate difficult conversations that will lead to effective co-parenting plans that reflect the best interest of their children. My role as a stepparent to two wonderful girls, combined with my experience as an educator, has led to a deep understanding of childhood development and needs. The co-parenting plans that I create with clients are aligned with best practices that recognize that every child is different, and that individual traits such as neurodivergence or special needs must be taken into account. 

People going through a separation may find a Divorce Coach pivotal in helping them navigate the unknowns of the divorce process. There is no manual on how to divorce, however I ensure that clients are well-informed and comfortable with the knowledge of what they will need to consider as they move forward. A divorce coach holds the big picture and can guide clients to zero in on what their priorities are, set goals, and move forward with clarity, confidence, dignity, and restored self-worth. 

I live in Ottawa with my partner, Murray, and his two lovely daughters who are 11 and 9. Our mini-Poodle, Molly, keeps us endlessly entertained.
