Co-Parenting Mediation & Coaching

Co-parenting can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially when every conversation turns into another negotiation. Navigating household transitions, differing parenting styles, and the constant compromises can leave you feeling like there’s no steady ground.

• Are you struggling to reach agreements about how to raise your kids?

• Do discussions about schedules, safety, school routines, or even bedtime feel like ongoing battles?

• Are you feeling frustrated because agreements keep being broken—or were never clear in the first place?

Parenting is hard enough under one roof, but when you're sharing parenting across two homes—with an anxious, unpredictable, or even uncooperative ex—it can feel downright impossible. Every interaction becomes a minefield, leaving you triggered, drained, and worried about how all of this is affecting your children.

That’s where I come in. I offer Co-Parenting Mediation* & Coaching to help you break these cycles, reduce conflict, and create practical, child-centered agreements—so you can move forward with more peace and less stress.

*Mediation is available in AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MA, MI, NC, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, & WA, and coaching is available throughout the U.S.

When You Need it Most

Co-Parenting Mediation & Coaching is here for parents at any stage of their journey—whether you’re married and struggling to parent as a team, considering separation or divorce, or already divorced and needing to revisit or improve your co-parenting relationship.

No matter where you are, this process provides structured support, guidance, and tools to help you parent more effectively together—even if you’re not together. Our focus is on your children’s well-being, helping you create or refine parenting agreements that offer stability, predictability, and a sense of security for everyone involved.

Through coaching and mediation, I help parents navigate complex emotions, differing parenting styles, and communication breakdowns that can arise during transitions or over time. Whether you’re:

• Working through parenting conflicts as a couple,

• Planning for separation and needing a clear, child-centered co-parenting plan, or

• Already divorced but facing new challenges (like shifting schedules, changing needs, or blended family dynamics),

I offer a family-focused space to address these issues constructively. Together, we’ll develop agreements and strategies that prioritize your children and create healthier, more cooperative parenting dynamics.

What We Focus On:

• Parenting schedules and time-sharing

• Decision-making approaches

• Communication strategies for smoother co-parenting

• Boundaries and expectations across two households

• Adapting plans as your children grow and circumstances change

What We Don’t Cover:

This is a space for parenting, not finances. We won’t address the financial elements of your separation, but I will gladly refer you to trusted divorce professionals for support in that area. This keeps our work centered on building and maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship.

When the Conversations Feel Too Hard

Sometimes, even the most well-intentioned parents can’t get on the same page. Emotions run high, past grievances resurface, or communication simply breaks down. That’s when having a neutral third party makes all the difference.

I help structure the conversation, making space for each parent’s voice while keeping the focus on solutions that serve your family—especially your children.

Whether you're seeking help to prevent further strain, plan a thoughtful separation, or adjust to life post-divorce, Co-Parenting Mediation & Coaching offers the support you need—when you need it most.

Why Choose Co-Parenting Mediation & Coaching?

When separation or divorce involves lawyers and courtrooms, especially with disputes over finances or child custody, it often becomes long, costly, and emotionally draining. These cases can take two to three years to work through the legal system, leaving families in limbo.

But mediation and coaching offer a different path.

Couples who choose to mediate before filing a court action often save time, money, and emotional energy. A mediated parenting agreement can often be reached in less than six months, helping families move forward without the added stress of drawn-out legal battles.

Key Benefits of Co-Parenting Mediation & Coaching:

• Save time, emotional energy, and financial resources.
  Skip the destructive side effects of litigation and focus on building a co-parenting relationship that supports healing for everyone involved.

• Reduce conflict and ease emotional strain.
  High-conflict separations can delay the emotional recovery both parents (and children) need. Mediation creates space to address concerns constructively—reducing fear of the unknown and helping parents tackle sensitive issues like schedules, communication, and boundaries.

• Focus on your children.
  This process is designed for divorcing or separating parents with children. We bring parenting challenges—not legal disputes—into the open so they can be addressed through cooperation and understanding.

• No attorneys required (but welcome if desired).
  Mediation does not require lawyers to be present or retained. You are always welcome to seek outside legal counsel, but this space remains focused on co-parenting collaboration.

**The Biggest Reason to Choose Mediation:

Putting Your Children First

Your children are at the heart of this process.
When parents can come together—even in the midst of separation—to prioritize their child’s well-being and respect each other’s role, the path forward becomes clearer.

It’s hard enough for children to adjust to the reality of their family changing. But children whose parents maintain respectful communication and consistent involvement during and after divorce are more likely to feel secure, adapt well, and carry healthy relationship patterns forward.

Mediation and coaching allow you to maintain your integrity as parents—so you can continue to model the kind of respect and resilience you want your children to embody.
