Collaborative Services
I have been working with attorneys, financial neutrals, and other mental health experts throughout the tri-state area (VA, MD and DC) over the last six years. I have participated in over 80 cases and have served both as a Divorce Coach and a Child Specialist. I have worked both as a sole Mental Health Neutral and as one of two Divorce Coaches. During the last two years, I have provided trainings to professionals who want to learn the Collaborative approach, and have found the spread of Collaborative throughout America to be thrilling. I believe the Collaborative model of resolving disputes is a creative, inspiring, supportive, and effective way to help people move through the challenging process of divorce for a wide variety of clients and situations. I also find that Collaborative teams are uniquely able to listen to the voices of the children in each family, and to give those children a chance to be heard. Children I have worked with during the very difficult time of their parents' divorce have expressed relief that they are able to talk about the experiences they are having with people who can help their parents help them.
