About

Here is the plain truth I want every new client to hear: the end of a marriage does not have to become the end of you. It only feels that way in the first stretch, when everything is still raw. Splitting up scrambles almost everything at once, your finances, your friendships, and your sense of who you are on an ordinary weekday. I help adults sort that wreckage into pieces they can actually pick up, one at a time, instead of staring at the whole pile. We handle the immediate decisions and the deeper question sitting under them: who do you want to be on the other side of this? I came up in community mental health, where people rarely had the luxury of tidy problems, and it left me practical and hard to shock. Nothing you tell me will be too much or too ugly. If you want a plainspoken ally for the months ahead, write me a few lines about what is going on.
