parenting coordination
Hillsborough County has been a leader in the implementation of Parenting Coordination as an alternative dispute resolution tool in Florida, and I have been involved in PC work since the very beginning. I have served as Parenting Coordinator in over sixty 13th, 6th, and 5th Circuit cases over the past 15+ years.
reunification therapist
As a licensed psychotherapist, I have served as a Reunification Therapist in many court-ordered cases over the past ten+ years. Some cases are the result of parent-child estrangement due to the pace and process of family law litigation, or from breaks in parent-child contact for legitimate reasons.
Social Investigations/
Parenting Plan Evaluations
I have served as Parenting Plan Evaluator and Relocation Study Evaluator on many additional cases. My experience in high conflict work, coupled with my mental health professional background, makes an assessment of 61.13 Florida Statutes and ancillary information a natural role for me.
Guardian Ad Litem
I have many years of experience working with abused children and children with special needs, as well as serving on boards of organizations that serve the special needs community, including medical disabilities such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and similar disorders. As well as children on the autism spectrum, Downs Syndrome, ADD, ADHD, and various learning disabilities.
I spent many years developing behavioral plans for parents and schools with behaviorally challenged youth, as well as developing and directing juvenile offender programs. As such, I am uniquely positioned to advocate as Guardian ad Litem for at-risk children involved in high-conflict family law litigation.
