Specialized counseling, coaching, and family mediation support for families navigating separation, divorce, and strained parent–child relationships.
When family conflict runs high, everyone feels it — especially the children. We work with parents, children, and families to lower conflict, rebuild communication, and restore healthy relationships. Our approach is structured, neutral, and focused on what is best for the child.
High Conflict Coaching and Counseling specializes in helping families work through their hardest moments. We support parents and children affected by divorce, custody disputes, and relationship breakdowns, and we work alongside the family court process when needed.
Every plan is built around the child's well-being.
We don't take sides; we help each family member be heard.
Clear steps, clear goals, and clear recommendations.
Parents leave with tools they can use right away.
As the Director of the High Conflict Mediation Institute, I help families struggling through a divorce. I am a Certified Mediator, trained at Northwestern University, and a certified Parent Coordinator for the courts.
In this role, I assist parents in creating a healthy co-parenting relationship by reducing conflict and making decisions in the children's best interests. We also provide Reunification Therapy, which aims to reintroduce a parent (or parents) back into a child's life in a safe and controlled manner.
I have extensive counseling experience with children and families. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings at Linden Oaks Hospital and in private practice for nearly 10 years.
