Mental Health Professional & Family Court Consultant

I have survived a parent’s worst nightmare. I lost primary custody to an abuser. My abuser promised me if I ever left the relationship, he would take the children and financially cripple me. I scoffed at the idea of losing my children to a person who had little to do with our family before separation. Losing my children to an abuser was my price to pay for leaving an unhealthy relationship. I was tied to the family court system for over a decade. I was naive in believing the court would see through my abuser's lies and manipulation, and rule in favor of my children’s best interests. The harsh reality is the courts frequently place children in the hands of a skillful narcissistic abuser. Many judges, attorneys, therapists, guardian ad litems (GALs), parent coordinators (PCs), and health care professionals do not understand, believe nor want to believe the intricate dynamics of post-separation control.

I have the knowledge and skill set to apply licensed, professional experience to each case. One-size-does-not-fit-all. Each case is unique. Each family is unique. I cannot guarantee any legal outcome. I can offer support, knowledge, empathy, and survival tools to protective parents trying to survive the challenges they face in the legal system. While the court system may rubber-stamp your case, I promise that I believe you, I hear you and I will support you through this difficult journey.
