A structured, respectful approach to divorce that keeps decision-making in your hands.
Â
Collaborative Divorce keeps decision-making in your hands. The quality of those decisions depends on the quality of the conversations that shape them.
As a Collaborative Communication Coach and Emotional Reactivity Consultant, I help clients stay grounded, communicate effectively, and participate productively in the Collaborative Divorce process, especially during the difficult conversations around parenting, negotiation, and family transition.

Why Couples Choose the Collaborative Process
Collaborative Divorce gives couples a way to move through divorce without defaulting to courtroom conflict. It is a structured, team-supported process designed to keep important decisions in the hands of the parties rather than the court.
The process generally offers:
- greater privacyÂ
- greater control over outcomes
- customized parenting, financial, and communication agreements
- a less adversarial structure
- coordinated support across legal, financial, parenting, and communication needs
- a process that may be faster and less costly than contested litigation
- room for long-term thinking rather than reaction-driven decisions
Collaborative Divorce is not about avoiding the difficulty of divorce. It is about moving through that difficulty inside a structure designed for clearer thinking, more durable agreements, and a workable foundation for what comes next.
Helping Stabilize the Human Side of the Process
Divorce is legal, financial, emotional, and relational. That is why communication matters so much.
As a Collaborative Communication Coach, I help clients stay emotionally steady, communicatively clear, and productively engaged throughout the collaborative process. The work supports parenting discussions, negotiation conversations, co-parenting communication, and the emotionally charged decisions that shape what comes next.
The role is also process-focused. Within the collaborative team, I help reduce escalation, support psychological safety, and protect the structure of difficult conversations so meetings stay productive rather than reactive.
I also help clients recognize the patterns that can interfere with the process, including emotional contagion, reactive communication loops, credibility collapse under pressure, emotional flooding, and shutdown.
The goal is to help clients stay clear enough to make decisions from intention rather than activation.
A Different Lens on Conflict and Communication
Most collaborative coaches come from therapy, psychology, mediation, or social work. My specialization is different.
My approach is rooted in nearly 15 years of work focused on emotional reactivity, composure under pressure, and the communication dynamics that shape high-stakes interactions. The Composure Codes™ is the methodology behind that work.
That perspective brings something additional to the collaborative process: a deeper understanding of how stress shapes behavior, decision-making, and credibility during conflict.
AnchorIt™ for High-Stakes Moments
AnchorIt™ is a communication support tool I developed to help clients slow down reactive messaging, identify what actually matters, and communicate more clearly during emotionally charged interactions.
Clients working with me in a Collaborative Divorce setting are offered access to AnchorIt™ to support healthier communication outside collaborative meetings, especially in texts and emails where stress and tone can easily escalate conflict.
