Hi, I'm Shannon

and I know what it feels like to be stuck in the divorce and custody fog

For years, I’ve seen capable, intelligent people navigate the fog of divorce and conflict, often making decisions driven by exhaustion and fear rather than clarity and confidence. They frequently resort to adversarial processes despite the potential for collaboration or settle for generic solutions that don’t suit their family’s unique reality, only to face the consequences of those choices later.
 

With extensive experience supporting individuals and couples through life changes, I understand most people seek to avoid contentious courtroom disputes or prolonged therapy. They need a composed, knowledgeable guide who can address both the emotional and practical aspects of Divorce, Custody, and Co-parenting, while empowering them to move forward with self-worth and values intact.

My approach integrates reducing opportunities for conflict in Divorce, Custody, and Co-parenting matters with a commitment to guiding clients toward less painful, costly, and complex solutions. I specialize in helping individuals separate the emotional weight from practical decisions, enabling them to make informed choices that uphold their long-term values and life goals.

I’ve spent years watching capable, intelligent people get lost in the fog of divorce and conflict, making decisions from exhaustion and fear instead of clarity and confidence, defaulting to adversarial processes when collaboration was possible, or accepting generic solutions that didn’t fit their family’s reality and dealing with the ramifications of those decisions later on.

COMMON QUESTIONS

How do I know if mediation or coaching is right for my situation?

During our free discovery call, we’ll assess your specific circumstances and goals. Generally, mediation works best when both parties want to voluntarily collaborate to efficiently move through the divorce process, while coaching is ideal when a person needs individualized support to navigate decisions and communication strategies through the divorce or ongoing co-parenting process.

I work with people across the spectrum—from amicable separations to high-conflict situations. My approach adapts to your reality. If your situation requires legal intervention, I can help you work with attorneys and other professionals more effectively.

Unlike therapy, we focus on practical solutions and forward movement rather than processing the past. Unlike legal services, and where possible, we prioritize collaboration and preservation of relationships, rather than adversarial positioning. You get the emotional support you need with the strategic clarity that moves you forward.
