Court-involved therapy for families navigating custody, reunification, and high-conflict family transitions
Supporting children and families through custody disputes, parent-child estrangement, reunification work, and experiential therapy. Based in Texas, with therapist consultation and training available nationally.
When custody conflict increases, children often carry the emotional strain
Families often reach out during separation, divorce, custody disputes, or periods of high conflict when communication has broken down and children begin carrying the emotional weight of the system.
You may be navigating:
• high-conflict co-parenting
• a child resisting or refusing contact with a parent
• court-ordered therapy
• reunification work
• emotional stress surrounding custody proceedings
With more than 20 years of experience working alongside custody courts, I help families create greater structure, stability, and emotional protection for the child.
Specialized support for complex family systems
Helping families navigate difficult family transitions while supporting therapists who want to work more effectively within court-involved cases.
Court-Involved Therapy
Support for families navigating custody disputes, parent-child estrangement, reunification work, and high-conflict co-parenting. The work focuses on helping families move toward greater stability while protecting the emotional well-being of the child throughout the process.
Experiential Therapy
Some children communicate more naturally through movement, experience, and shared activity than through direct conversation alone. Outdoor, equine-assisted, and canine-assisted therapy can support emotional expression, connection, regulation, and trust.
Therapist Consulting
Many therapists begin encountering custody and reunification cases without receiving meaningful training in how these systems evolve under pressure. Consultation focuses on structure, role clarity, documentation, and maintaining grounded clinical work within complex family dynamics.
Who I work with
Families Navigating Custody & Reunification
You may be here because your family is experiencing:
high-conflict co-parenting
a strained or disconnected parent-child relationship
emotional stress during separation or divorce
court involvement surrounding parenting or custody
concerns about a child becoming emotionally overwhelmed within the conflict
My role is to provide structured, child-focused support that helps families move toward greater stability, clarity, and healthier relationships over time.
Therapists Interested in Court-Involved Work
Many therapists want to help court-involved families but receive little preparation for the realities these cases can create over time.
Consultation and mentorship focus on:
role clarity
documentation
reunification dynamics
therapist neutrality
collaboration with attorneys and courts
maintaining structure under pressure
With more than 20 years of experience working alongside custody courts, I help therapists develop greater confidence and stability within this work.
