It's not impossible to change things! The purpose of this program is to create an amicable working relationship between parents. Transitioning from a romantic partnership to a co-parenting relationship takes intention, agreements, boundaries and understanding.

'I Now Pronounce you Co-Parents' is designed to

Strengthen your communication

Teach you how regulate your own emotions

Help the family through the transition and into the future

Successfully redefine your relationship

Support achievable milestones

Create a new narrative that supports every family member

Understand and validate what you are going through, then move forward 

​

This class offers very practical strategies for success!

​

No two parents are going to agree on each and every decision. However, co-parents who work together well for the sake of their kids have reached a basic level of agreement on the most important things—like issues pertaining to their children’s health, discipline, education, and spiritual upbringing. 

​

How do I know so much about co-parenting?  I became a co-parent in 2011 after my 12 year marriage. I am also the child of divorce, having experienced it as a teenager. I have faced my own challenges and many feelings during this time. In my journey I found empathy for each one of you and in my healing I created this program. While it definitely addresses parenting through divorce, it's about the critical relationship between parents.

I have been where you are.

In my practice I offer mediation and co-parenting therapy for parents in the process of uncoupling.

WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?

1. I can guide you through the process of decision making
as it relates to your child's schedule, visitation, holidays, family events, vacations and transitions.  I take into consideration your family dynamics, your child's needs at different ages, your own desires and feelings as co-parents.

2. Create a parenting agreement
that you can share with your attorney.  This is submitted with the dissolution of marriage and becomes the legal agreement that addresses parenting issues.  It can be as detailed or general as you need it to be.  It includes things such as medical issues, holidays, visitation, school and extracurricular activities, division of costs, religious or spiritual upbringing, including a third party and housing.

3. Have explicit conversations around expectations, needs and ideas of what your co-parenting relationship will look like. 
I use a lot of tools from my online class.  This includes how to effectively communicate in a child focused way, how to keep the children out of the middle and healthy boundaries.


Mediation / Therapy is a 2 hour meeting with a 15 min break.  This is followed up with a 1:1 "decompression, reflection" session to discuss how you are feeling about the decisions made thus far, other ideas you may have, make additional requests or modifications and continue to build the foundation for a co-parenting relationship. I do this individually with each parent.

The average couple has 4 two-hour sessions with at least 1-2 follow up decompression / reflection sessions.
My rate is $180 per hour.
