Transforming divorce
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, or reducing attorney fees - I provide information and guidance acquired over fifteen years of work with children and families in divorce. This assistance is offered in a efficient framework so you can spend more time focused on other things in life.
Kathleen’s Modern Approach
I’ve created a system designed to reduce anxiety and uncertainty during this time of transition. This is achieved by a structured process that provides clarity around stages and action steps, relevant information so you can make informed decisions, and appropriate support and accountability to move you forward.
I partner with my clients in designing/choosing the correct plan for you - whether it’s individual support, working in conjunction with the other parent, or including your children - safely - in the process. You get to choose the format and how many sessions you want to commit to right from the beginning. This allows me to structure our work accordingly.
