For Couples who are Divorcing

You may have been referred to me by a friend, attorney, Collaborative Law professional, or mediator who believes that you, your partner, or your children would benefit from seeing me. 

 

Are concerned about how your children will adjust?  Do you worry that this will “damage them forever” because they will be a “child of a broken home?”

 

I help couples divorce in the

best way possible for the whole family.

 

Divorce can be traumatic for you as adults, and it can be equally or more difficult for your children. 

 

Research suggests that a major factor in how well children adjust and react to divorce is how their parents function, relate, and communicate during and following the divorce.

 

It is possible to develop a new relationship with your soon-to-be-ex—no matter what the issues between you—for the sake of your kids and your future as a family.

 

Your child and your whole family can adjust to this major change. 

Children adjust to divorce more easily when their parents communicate, collaborate, and share a cordial relationship

What is Collaborative Divorce?

Collaborative divorce is a way of separating from each other legally that is family-focused and goal-directed.  To learn more, visit: http://www.collaborativedivorce.net/

 

How are you involved in Collaborative Divorce?

When I complete my training, I will be the only Marriage and Family Therapist within the Carroll County Collaborative Practice Group.  My role in this group is as a professional with experience helping couples communicate and families transition through the process of divorce.  Together with legal, financial, and mortgage professionals, we help couples divorce in a way that supports couples through the divorce process without engaging in a ‘legal battle’ over.
