Child Custody Evaluations/Guardian ad Litem (GAL): I may be appointed by the Court or by coparents as a category E Guardian ad Litem (GAL). The role of the Category E GAL evaluator is to gather and report factual information, use clinical knowledge to interpret that data, and formulate clinical opinions to assist the court in making custody, visitation, or other decisions that are in the best interest of the child.



GAL consultant: Learn how to effectively present yourself, confidently answer questions, and steer clear of the common mistakes that parents frequently encounter during the process. This guidance will empower you to navigate the experience with ease and assurance. 

Parenting Coordinator: I encourage co-parents to work together to develop a parenting plan that is in the best interest of their child(ren) instead of deferring to the courts, who often order a “one size fits all” parenting plan.  I facilitate this process through psychoeducation on child development, communication skills, and emotion regulation.
​
Individual counseling: Navigating the family court system can take a huge toll on a person physically, emotionally, and financially. It may take years to concede to a divorce or custody agreement.  People are often left feeling depleted, discouraged, and defeated and many develop anxiety, depression, and/or  PTSD as a result. I will support you through the process, help you develop coping skills, and facilitate connections to resources available in the community.


My goal:  “ To help families move forward so everyone can be in the best situation possible.”
