Divorce & Family Transitions
Divorce and Post-Divorce Life are transitions that deserve specialized support.
Navigating separation or divorce can feel overwhelming, but with the right information and a clear path forward, you can create a stable and supportive environment for your child. The Divorce Architect streamlined services provides parents with the structure, tools, and guidance needed to make informed decisions and maintain healthy family connections.
A solid plan is your best chance at achieving an optimal outcome. Without it, or the necessary information to make one, you’ll waste time, energy and resources. Your money spent on the wrong activities and actions - or with the wrong people - can put you and your children at risk for more losses in the future when you’ve drained those resources.
Say goodbye to just “winging it” and start strategizing for the post-divorce life you want for yourself and your children. Our work together prioritizes what’s matters most to you - whether that’s protecting your children, setting healthy boundaries, understanding your options, and/or reducing attorney fees.
I provide information and guidance acquired both in my two decades of work with children and families, including the fifteen years specializing in divorce. This assistance is offered in an efficient framework so you can spend more time focused on other things in life.
Divorce as an Architectural Project: Designing your Future.
Laying the Foundation: Much like constructing a building, our divorce work begins with a strong foundation—a clear understanding of your goals and priorities - such as minimizing the negative impact on your children, keeping costs under control, and/or acting with integrity.
Blueprint for Co-Parenting: A parenting plan serves as the blueprint for the new family structure. Every line drawn and every detail included is a step toward creating a supportive environment where children can thrive.
Structural Integrity: The integrity of a building depends on careful planning and collaboration, and so does the integrity of post-divorce relationships. Thoughtful communication ensures that even as the family transforms, it remains stable and secure.

Individual Coaching
Navigating divorce well requires clear vision and intentional planning. Together, we assess where you are, identify the key structural elements of your transition or post-transition life, and develop an action plan that supports both your well-being and your role as a parent. By focusing on clarity, stability, and thoughtful design, we ensure that each step you take is aligned with your goals, helping you build a future that is both resilient and intentional.
Parenting Plan Mediation
Just like a well-built structure needs a solid blueprint, a successful co-parenting arrangement requires thoughtful planning and a strong foundation. Taking an architectural approach to this neutral process, we collaborate to draft a comprehensive parenting plan, covering every detail—schedules, decision-making responsibilities, communication strategies, and more. Designing a clear, functional framework that supports your child’s well-being and provides stability for your evolving family dynamic.
