“Not therapy not lawyers”
Not traditional therapy and not lawyers or court — the middle lane
Many couples with questions about their futures don’t need months of therapy. They often don’t need to hire attorneys, either. They need structured, targeted help to talk through the hard parts, make decisions, and move forward with clarity.
This is the middle lane.
A focused, time-limited series of conversations where we sort through what matters, name the real issues, and work toward making decisions you can live by. Some couples choose a hybrid approach and see an attorney to formalize what they have decided in our sessions, saving time and money. Sessions are practical, respectful, and grounded: an approach to therapy that is guided by basic mediation principles like fairness and objectivity — a place to get unstuck without escalating conflict or entering treatment. What is mediation-informed therapy?
Clarity without the courtroom
For couples, partners, co-parents, and any two people who want clarity without the courtroom — and support without the traditional focus on diagnostic treatment.

Lawyers sit in the “legal zone.”
Therapists sit in the “healing zone.”
