The Healthy Separation
A healthy separation is the foundation upon which a promising new chapter rests
When we committed to our partners we meant it. We were all in. Separation was the last thing on our minds. And yet, here we are: heartbroken, angry, depressed, sleepless, lonely … you name it. And this is just the beginning. Now the divorce proceedings start. An ugly court battle is looming. If kids are involved then we have to break the news to them. We may have to move out of or sell our home, and much more.
I have been there and it was the most painful experience of my life. The good news is that we came out alive. I have a co-parenting relationship with the mother of my son and my son have to take sides between his mother and I.
Whether kids are involved or not, the challenges become so deeply personal that it is almost impossible to retain a cool head and make decisions that we won’t later regret. My expertise is my ability to help you to do exactly that. We will embark on a journey together that will be very personal. In the end, there will be healing for everyone.
Achieving a healthy separation is like climbing Mount Everest. It requires the very best of you and more! Down the road, you will be only grateful that you did it.
So, whether you’re currently experiencing a separation,
Still grappling with lingering pain from a previous separation, or
Anticipating a potential separation and aiming to handle it smoothly, send me a message and we can start with a chemistry call and see where it takes us.
I offer personalized support for individuals or couples embarking on the challenging journey of separation, whether children are involved or not.
Our sessions, which we will schedule according to your needs and availability, occur bi-weekly and can take place online or in person, whichever is most comfortable for you.
To guide my work I draw from a range of modalities–including The Enneagram, Trauma Healing, and Mindfulness. I will create a holistic approach tailored specifically to your situation. My goal is to guide you through deep healing, whether that means repairing ruptures in trust or facilitating amicable agreements if separation becomes inevitable.
I’m deeply committed to creating a safe space for honesty and openness, where you can feel truly seen and understood. Together, we’ll navigate the complexities of your process and the emotions that come with it.
Ultimately, my aim is for you to emerge from our work together feeling empowered and equipped to navigate the separation process with clarity, compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose.

The story of my inner journey through the stages of divorce
I didn’t see my separation coming at all
On the day my ex-wife expressed her dissatisfaction, I could feel that it was over. It was as if I was hit by a speeding car. My son wasn’t even 3 years old and now he would be raised without his parents living under one roof. I was devastated. The sight of families in the park having fun, laughing, and enjoying life was devastating to me. I lost all hope that I would experience something similar ever again. During the following weeks and months, two roads lay before me. I had to continually choose which one to take: The path of confrontation, revenge, anger and pain or the path with the birds-eye view, the long-term view. Many times I chose the first one, but ultimately I was able, with the help of friends, to settle into the second path. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have done so. The easy path would have resulted in endless pain for my son, myself and my ex. Instead, I have found that the wounds of the break-up heal more and more and the depth of my humanity has increased dramatically. In time, I even found a new partner who lights up my life.
