Co Parent Coaching
It’s possible to co-parent peacefully. Let’s find what that looks like for you.
Divorce, especially with children, can be messy. Everything about the way you used to operate has changed, and even seemingly small decisions are charged with emotion. I know there may be a lot of pain, hurt, resentment, and anger that you and your former partner are feeling. These things can make it easy to make decisions based on emotions, rather than on what is ultimately best for your home and your children. It doesn't have to be this way! Working with one parent or two, the results are life changing. I have crafted an eight-step program that will help you make the best and most child-focused decisions for your family. The pillars of this program will...
-
Offer strategies to support children of all ages as they adjust to your new family dynamic
-
Teach you new ways to communicate as co-parents
-
Educate you on ways to resolve conflict between co-parents
-
Prepare you to talk to your children about divorce and co-parenting
-
Support you in setting reasonable and appropriate boundaries for a healthy co-parenting relationship
-
Assist you creating consistency between homes; new routines and rules
-

-

Therapy
You are so much more than what you have been through
Is a painful past experience impacting the way you view yourself, your relationships, or the world around you?
Traumatic experiences look different from person to person: sometimes they’re in the form of a single, significant event and other times, they’re a series of events whose impacts you don’t begin to see until they’ve ended.
Whatever form your experience took, there is no “measuring stick” for trauma: if it felt traumatic, it was traumatic…and you don’t have to continue feeling defined by it.
You might be experiencing…
-
Ruminating thoughts or flashbacks
-
Panic attacks
-
Trouble sleeping
-
Feelings of isolation
-
A sense of helplessness
-
Lack of support from those close to you
I’m here to hold hope for you in the times you feel like you can’t do it yourself
I understand you may be feeling like you “should” be “over” this or “shouldn’t be” struggling like this anymore. Please know that there is no timeline for healing, and everything you are thinking, feeling, and experiencing right now is valid.
It may feel impossible to imagine being able to move forward or feel truly happy again. In therapy, we’ll work on practical tools you can put into action in the difficult moments of day-to-day life, as well as address the deeper impacts of your experience.
We’re working toward a new future together. This isn’t about going back to “normal”; it’s about going forward, realizing you are stronger, wiser, and more resilient than you ever were before.
