Separation & Divorce Support
Relational support for families navigating change.
Separation and divorce are not just legal processes – they are nervous system events.
For many families, this time brings heightened emotion, confusion, grief, and reactivity. Parents are often doing their best while carrying fear about how their children will be affected, how to communicate, and how to move forward without causing further harm.
My work offers relational support during this transition – helping families move through change with greater steadiness, clarity and care.
Working Together
Session are available:
- One-on-one for parents or individuals
- With families, when appropriate
- In Toronto or online
Each family’s situation is different. We move slowly, with care, and with attention to what feels stabilizing rather than overwhelming.
A Gentle Invitation
If you are navigating separation or divorce and feeling unsure how to support yourself or your children through it, you don’t have to do this alone.
Connection doesn’t require certainty. It begins with presence and with support that understands how much is at stake.

What This Support Focuses On
This work is not about determining outcomes, assigning fault, or revisiting the past.
It is about stabilizing the present.
Support may include:
- Helping parents regulate during high-conflict or emotionally charged moments
- Supporting children through transitions between homes
- Reducing reactivity and escalating cycles
- Strengthening communication during and after separation
- Supporting co-parenting relationships where possible
- Creating emotional safety during periods of uncertainty
The focus is always on relationship, regulation and repair – especially when systems are strained.
Supporting Children Through Separation
Children don’t need perfect parents. They need available ones.
Much of this work centres on helping parents understand how children experience separation – often through their bodies and behaviour rather than words – and how to respond in ways that build trust and security over time.
This includes:
- Understanding behaviour as communication
- Supporting emotional expression without burdening children
- Helping children feel held, even across two homes
- Reducing loyalty binds and emotional triangulation
Who This Work is For
This support is well suited for:
- Parents in the early stages of separation
- Families navigating ongoing co-parenting challenges
- Individuals seeking steadiness during divorce
- Parents wanting support without entering therapy or legal conflict
- Families referred by schools, mediators, or community professionals
Sessions can be individual, parent-focused, or family-based depending on what feels most supportive.
What This Work Is Not
To be clear:
- This is not legal advise
- This is not mediation or couples therapy
- This is not about ‘fixing’ or forcing reconciliation
It is relational support attuned where families can realistically integrate.
