State Supreme Court Certified Mediator
Certified Divorce Coach®
Helping Couples and Individuals move more mindfully through the divorce process, from start to finish.

At the center of almost every divorce or custody dispute is communication that has broken down. Two people with different needs, fears, and perspectives trying unsuccessfully to feel heard.

I understand both personally and professionally how emotionally exhausting that can become.

As a Kansas Supreme Court Certified Mediator® and Certified Divorce Coach®, I provide trauma-informed mediation and coaching support designed to help individuals and couples navigate divorce with greater clarity, calmer communication, and less unnecessary conflict.

My approach is grounded, neutral, and forward-focused. Whether working with individuals or couples, my goal is to create a space where people feel heard, supported, and better able to make thoughtful decisions during one of the most difficult transitions of their lives. Even in high-conflict situations, productive communication is often still possible with the right structure, support, and guidance.

I often think of divorce like untangling a knot. Pulling harder in frustration usually tightens it. Slowing down, understanding what is actually tangled, and approaching the process calmly creates the best chance of moving forward with less damage to everyone involved.

My goal is to help clients navigate that process with greater clarity, dignity, and stability so they can move forward thoughtfully rather than through fear, chaos, or prolonged conflict.

As Coach and Mediator, my goal is to help people feel safe, heard, and better able to advocate for themselves during one of life’s most difficult transitions.

When I’m not working, I'm tending my plants, traveling or spending time with my grandson, my dogs, and my two adult children.

Certified Divorce Coach®

I come alongside those who have lost themselves trying to save their marriage, but are now ready to see things for what they are, understand they played a part in the dynamics and turn their pain and pity into power and progress. My goal is to be your “thinking partner” to prevent costly mistakes, to set effective boundaries and to communicate and negotiate so you don't lose big in your divorce from a high-conflict spouse. You'll find HELP and HOPE as you close one chapter and begin creating a new life you can love.

Kansas Supreme Court Certified Mediator

As a neutral third party, I facilitate a productive conversation which allows parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement as to disputed issues. By identifying issues, reducing misunderstandings, clarifying priorities, exploring areas of compromise, and finding points of agreement, more positive communication allows parties to move forward without the delays, stress and cost of a typical adversarial approach to divorce and custody.
