    "As a clinical psychologist I believe in working collaboratively with those whose enter this process. You know your life and your struggles and I know what may be helpful to resolve these struggles. Together we collaborate, generate solutions and then it is up to you to decide which of those solutions you want to pursue.”
    "As a mediator and coach for those individuals or couples about to enter the divorce process, during the divorce process or following the divorce process, I am able to facilitate and help address issues in a productive, safe and respectful manner. For those who are experiencing an impasse related to an ongoing business, I am able to integrate the didactic information from my field of psychology with the real world practicalities of running a business. This results in clients generating and implementing real life business solutions in those areas of impasse.“
