Support for parents navigating high-conflict separation, divorce, and parenting.
Helping you protect what matters most.
Separation changes everything—for you as a person and as a parent.
You are making sense of your own losses, decision and changing future while trying to stay present for your child. PIPP begins with intention: What do I want for this child's one very short childhood? From there, it helps you notice what is happening, protect what matters, and choose how you want to parent through conflict and transitions - while making room for your own wellbeing...first.

As a daughter of divorce, I understand the significance of present, intentional parents. Having navigated high-conflict and destabilizing post-separation dynamics myself, I am dedicated to safeguarding and supporting my children's relationship with their dad. Through my coaching insights gained over decades working with children and families, I’ve observed how easily children can fall victim to emotional pressure and loyalty conflicts—burdens they should not have to bear. I recognize how overwhelming and destabilizing separation can be for both parents and children, particularly when conflict lingers.
These experiences, coupled with my background in education, psychology, and my role as a Certified Divorce Coach®, influence the way I provide support to parents today. I also incorporate every chapter of coaching into my practice to ensure parents are equipped with the best strategies.
Children only get one childhood.

Separation and transitions affect a child’s routines, school experience and relationships—and leave parents making difficult decisions under pressure. I help parents understand what their child may need and identify practical next steps for their family.
I bring more than 30 years of experience in education, including special education, together with my training as a Certified Divorce Coach® and Transition & Recovery Specialist®. My work supports parents navigating separation, ongoing conflict, transitions between homes, and educational or additional needs.
We can look at school and learning concerns, routines across homes, transitions, communication, and ways to protect your connection with your child while caring for your own wellbeing. The support is tailored to your situation, with practical strategies you can use in everyday life.
