If I could tell you one thing about how I approach parenting issues, it is: 

I am passionate about helping children.  Parenting issues can arise at any time during separation or divorce, and even long after the final decree of divorce has been entered.  My goal is to help parents make decisions during the divorce process, from separation through the post-divorce period, that will ultimately improve the parenting relationship and provide stability to families as they move forward.   

BIO:

For the past 16 years I’ve been associated with Divorce Mediation Plus in Leesburg, Virginia.  During my first six years with the firm, my passion for helping children was ignited.  For the past 10 years, I've specialized in working  specifically with parents in all stages of separation and divorce.   As a parenting specialist, I assist parents  in negotiation of a parenting agreement that is acceptable to everyone and emphasize ways to improve and strengthen their on-going parenting relationship.  I expanded my practice to divorce coaching as I saw how powerful it could be for the individual.  As a divorce coach, I assist individual clients in focusing their emotions to help make their attorney meetings more productive.  This ultimately saves the family both time and money.

I've been a Virginia Supreme Court certified family mediator since 2002.  I hold Master's Degrees in both counseling and forensic psychology. 

Specialties/Areas of Practice: 

Parenting specialist and divorce coach.  I work with people who find themselves in difficult circumstances struggling to make tough life-altering decisions.  As a parenting specialist, my goal is to help parents make decisions that will ultimately improve their parenting relationship and provide stability to their families.  As a divorce coach, my goal is to help individuals as they navigate the separation and divorce process.

Community Involvement:

For the past 4 years I’ve been the troop leader for my daughter’s Girl Scout troop.  I’ve also the Girl Scout school organizer at my daughter’s elementary school where I place girls in Girl Scout troops and recruit new girls into Scouting.
