  • Can my marriage be saved? Is amicable divorce possible?
  • How will I and my children ever get through this?
  • I’ve been married for decades and I’m scared to be alone—

    • will I ever be happy again?

Even while supporting, coaching and mediating for hundreds (racking in) more than we ever dreamed possible.
