Collaborative co-parenting counseling in Dallas, Texas

Some periods of life call for more than advice — they call for a guide who’s in it with you.

I work with a small number of clients at a time so I can offer real ongoing support when things feel like they’re falling apart.

You’re going to be in each other’s lives for years.

You can either do that by default—or by design.

What you get:

Weekly Sessions

We’ll work together, and I’ll support you individually, too. This isn’t your typical therapy setup—it’s what actually works for divorcing parents.

If you're in the DFW area, we will meet in my Dallas office. I also do in home sessions if that’s what you prefer.

Real-Time Support

I don’t just show up for scheduled sessions — I’m here between them too. When things get tense, clients have access to phone and text support, so you're never alone in high-stress moments. Sometimes, a five-minute call can prevent a weekend-long fallout.

A Parenting Plan that Works

A solid parenting plan is more than just a schedule — it’s the foundation for your child’s safety and sense of security. You don’t have to agree on everything—you just need to share the same goal: “I will put my child’s future ahead of my current feelings.”

If you can do that, divorce won’t break your kids. The rest is simply a calendar, which we create together.

Why It Works

My practice stays small for a reason: you get more than a therapist or coach. You get someone who’s walked this path and will walk it with you — helping you shift out of crisis, stay out of court, and build a plan for what’s next.

If you’re looking for quick fixes or occasional check-ins, this may not be the right fit. But if you want high-level, personalized support that changes the trajectory of your family’s future — you’re in the right place.

 FAQs

  • Co-parenting coaching helps divorced or separated parents work together for their kids benefit. It’s action-oriented and focused on practical solutions, not therapy. Instead of looking at the past, we focus on today—improving how you co-parent now and moving forward.

  • Attorneys handle the legal side of divorce, but they’re not trained to help you co-parent. Coaching gives you the tools to communicate, minimize conflict, and create stability for your kids—saving you stress, legal fees, and even future counseling costs. The more you prevent conflict today, the better your co-parenting relationship will be tomorrow. It’s an investment in your family’s future.

  • While joint participation is my preferred way to get you what you want, it’s definitely is not mandatory. Individual coaching can still provide you with effective strategies to manage co-parenting challenges and improve the overall dynamic, even if the other parent chooses not to engage.

  • It depends on what you need. Some parents just need a few sessions to create a solid parenting plan. Others work with me for 6-12 months and check back in if and when new challenges come up.

  • Every case is different. Once we develop a parenting plan, I’ll provide a detailed quote.
