Why Train with Me?
I’m a Clinical Psychologist who has spent over two decades working with separated families, turning complex dynamics into workable solutions. My journey has led me to create The Same Mountain and Co-Parenting Companion, where I’ve developed evidence-based frameworks that help transform high-conflict situations into manageable co-parenting relationships.
My approach weaves together ACT, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and ProSocial principles with practical strategies drawn from extensive experience across:
Expert witness testimony in Family Court proceedings
Court-mandated therapy for separated families
Child and adolescent mental health services
Juvenile justice system intervention
Perinatal mental health support
Supporting neurodivergent children and their families
Based in WA, I regularly consult with mental health professionals nationwide on complex separated family cases. I’m known for my straight-talking, practical approach – taking complex clinical challenges and turning them into actionable solutions. In my training, I combine real-world experience with current research to help practitioners work confidently with separated families while maintaining sustainable practice boundaries.
My mission is simple: to help professionals like you develop the skills and confidence to work effectively with separated families, while preserving your own wellbeing in the process.
Be part of systemic change, supporting families in their time of greatest need – efficiently, effectively, and (importantly) without burning out.
