Hey, I'm Heather!

I'm a CDC Certified Divorce Coach® and CDC Divorce Transition and Recovery Coach®.

I specialize in helping people navigate separation and divorce with more calm, clarity and confidence. 

Before divorce and co-parent coaching, I was an educator and academic coach. I have seen how separation and divorce can have significant and long-lasting negative impacts on kids.

And I know it doesn't have to be that way.

There are so many positive ways to go through a family transition. I love helping parents learn those ways. 

I'm trained in Family Mediation, Collaborative Divorce and serve as a Mentor Coach to certifying divorce coaches. I also teach a parent education class for families who are going through separation and divorce in Portland. 

When I'm not coaching and teaching, you can find me paddling on one of Oregon's scenic rivers, attempting to meditate, playing futsal (slowly) or cajoling my kids into playing a card game.
