Helping Clients Overcome Their Grief and Struggles

It is well known that separation and divorce are one of life’s most stressful experiences. There are multiple losses based on decisions that have to be made for both parenting and financial agreements that are overwhelming, traumatic, and terrifying for most clients.

That said, separation can be life-altering, going so far as to make one lose focus on previously held goals and aspirations for life and work. For most clients, separation can be the gateway to a much healthier, happier, and more productive life, but this outcome usually takes work, pain, and plenty of challenges along the way.

My goal is to provide compassion and care for all clients I work with, along with their children, during this difficult time in their lives.

Our legal system allows us to go through mediation, a process that enables both parties to have better control and power over the outcomes of their lives. In most cases, mediation provides not only a more affordable option but also a smoother and less stressful method of coming to an agreement.

However, negotiating in mediation is neither easy nor seamless. At times, tempers flare, disappointment is high, and being present and accountable would not easy for many individuals.

Typically, both parties will have a form of negative history, a lack of trust, and trauma associated with separation and cooperation. Knowing this, mediation might seem like an unkind, nearly impossible, and even cruel task to subject them to at this time.

But unfortunately, a separation will also impact the well-being of clients’ children as well, and in order to provide them with a less stressful experience, both partners should work diligently and honestly to come to an amicable agreement.
