You met someone; you fell in love…is it time to build a family together? What about all the fights you have been having recently? Now you are a mother/father, juggling childcare, professional development, housework… what about US? What about ME? How to teach our kids when we don’t even agree? Things are not working out; Shall we give it one last try before separating? My partner wants to open up the relationship/marriage. What does it even mean?
I’m familiar with Family Law, Parent-Child Therapy, and Child Custody Mediation. I work with high-conflict couples as a court-appointed mediator. I use positivity and humor to mitigate differences and creatively solving seemingly impossible problems. I use a variety of clinically proofed effective approaches for immediate changes and sustained growths.
Congratulations! The fact that you are reading this means that you are attracted to personal growth and moving forward in life. Based on the Stages of Change model, YOU are in Stage 2 - Contemplation. You wonder "what if my life is different/better?" I am here, as your non-judgmental witness, safeguard, experienced and knowledgeable guide, and cheerleader.
