From Chaos to Clarity:

My Journey Through High-Conflict Divorce

 In three words - I can sum up everything

I've learned about life:

It Goes On.

                                               -Robert Frost

I’ve walked the path you’re on. After going through a high-conflict divorce, I had to learn—sometimes painfully—that life does go on. I had to master the art of managing my emotions while navigating interactions with a high-conflict ex. Perhaps most importantly, I had to accept that the only way to “win” with a high-conflict individual is to stop playing their game.



As your coach, I’ll be more than just a source of guidance—I’ll be your thinking partner, your confidant, and your steady hand through the storm. I’ll help you sort through the chaos, clarify your goals, and make thoughtful, strategic decisions when everything feels uncertain. 

As a mediator, I offer a calm, neutral space where difficult conversations can lead to meaningful resolutions. I help couples avoid the courtroom and instead work toward agreements that reflect fairness, respect, and long-term stability—especially when conflict feels overwhelming.

My Background

You’re Not Alone—There Is a Way Forward

I’ve lived through the pain of a high-conflict divorce and post-separation abuse. It was one of the most difficult chapters of my life—filled with emotional strain, uncertainty, and moments where hope felt out of reach. That experience shaped not only who I am—but why I do this work. With the right support and guidance, I found my way through...and so can you.

I combine lived experience with professional expertise to help others navigate their own path forward.
