THE GENTLE DIVORCE

Ending a marriage is always difficult and even traumatizing. However, learning to increase your conflict resolutions skills in the midst of it, and to deepen your communications skills can make all the difference in the process.

I have served as a Family Mediator in the Collaborative Method for years, but also bring the skills of a social worker and coach to help you see the larger perspective and end the petty fighting.

Things to Consider When Calling It Quits

Your Conflict Resolution Skills

My first step is assessing communications skills and a couples capacity to resolve conflicts. You will learn and utilize the basics steps of mediation in order to resolve conflicts to a WIN - WIN outcome.

Therapeutic Separations

This process helps couples realize if indeed they can repair the relationship within an identified amount of time or if they will both be healthier separating.

The Legal Divorce

Choosing attorneys and financial planners or accountants that support your vision of an amicable divorce is a critical decision.

Emotional Healing

Allowing an unhealthy and unhappy marriage to die can often bring forth a new way of relating to one another as their communication improves and their confidence in resolving difficult challenges increases.

Children and Divorce

Often the most painful part of a divorce are all the decisions that have to be made to co-parent well. Children are remarkably resilient when given the hope of your ability to resolve conflicts peacefully and fairly.

This will be the biggest part of our work together.
