I'm a conflict expert, a mediator, and a coach.

You've spent years trying to manage what's happening around you, but something is still not working. Maybe it's your marriage, your co-parenting situation, or a pattern of conflict that keeps showing up no matter what you do.

What if the problem was never the situation itself?


I help people find and change the patterns running underneath their conflicts, so they can navigate divorce, difficult relationships, and high-conflict co-parenting differently. My book, Repatterned, introduces my method. Let me show you how to apply it to your life.

Divorce, co-parenting COACHING, & MEDIATION

You're in something specific: a divorce, a high-conflict co-parenting situation, a relationship that's become unmanageable. You need someone who understands the territory and can help you navigate it without losing yourself in the process.

Go Deeper With REPATTERNING COACHING

The situation keeps changing, but the feeling never does. A different relationship, a different job, a different conflict, but the same result. You need someone who can help you see what's been running you from the inside, and change it.

Why I Do This Work

I left a lucrative marketing career at Google and Intuit, dismantled a life that looked right from the outside, and spent years studying conflict and relational dynamics. Once I could see the patterns driving my choices and decisions, my life changed. That's what I help you with.

My Method: Exhale–Explore–Engage®

1

Exhale

Before anything else, we pause. We start with a breath, a long exhale, a genuine interruption of whatever has been running on loop. With the breath, we create space to notice. You can't see a pattern clearly from the inside.

2

Explore

With space comes curiosity. We look at what's actually driving the situation — the values underneath the conflict, the truth underneath the reaction, the need that's been buried under years of managing everyone else's feelings.

3

Engage

This is where we flip the script. With clarity about what's actually true, you stop reacting from the pattern and start choosing from your truth. That's a bigger shift than it sounds. Most people have never done it.
