Coparenting Therapy in San Luis Obispo
Create a Coparenting Dynamic Your Whole Family Can Count On
Parents who come to coparenting therapy are already doing something right. They want a cooperative, respectful relationship with their coparent and a stable, loving environment their kids can grow up in. Research consistently shows that when two parents communicate well and work as a team, children feel more secure, confident, and free to focus on being kids. Therapy gives you the practical tools and structure to make that happen.
I use the Gottman Method, which is grounded in decades of research on what makes relationships healthy, what helps families stay connected, and how the relationship between parents shapes children’s wellbeing. My approach to coparenting therapy is practical, structured, and focused on building a parenting dynamic that works for your whole family.
I see coparenting clients in person in San Luis Obispo and online across California.

What to Expect
Sessions 1 & 2: Individual Sessions
I'll meet with each of you separately to understand your personal history, your hopes for this process, and what a healthy coparenting relationship would look like for you. These conversations are confidential and give you space to speak openly.
Session 3: The Big Picture
We'll check in with where you are as a coparenting team, what's working, what you each need, and what you'd like to shift to have a better coparenting dynamic.
Moving Forward Together
In the following sessions, we will begin building a shared parenting approach, with open communication, solid structure, and practical tools you can use right away.
Investment
Sessions are $190 per 50-minute session. I do not accept insurance. Many clients use HSA/FSA funds.
A Note About Court Involvement
My role in coparenting therapy is to support cooperative, respectful communication between parents for the benefit of their children. I do not participate in custody evaluations, court proceedings, or provide recommendations for legal matters. All sessions are focused on practical tools, realistic agreements, and building a shared parenting approach that works for your family.
