About

I am the co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high-conflict divorce strategist and certified domestic violence advocate specializing in legal abuse, where a person’s ex uses the legal system to wear them down and bleed them dry. My partner Chris and I coach people in high-conflict relationships, divorce, custody battles, and co-parenting hell so they have the chance of the best outcome in family court and beyond with the intention of lowering the conflict so that it doesn’t bleed onto your kids. We also offer a weekly Legal Abuse Support Group for those dealing with narcissistic opponents in legal matters. Our first book is "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances'' and our next book as well as an intensive online course, “When Your Ex Turns the Kids Against You” will release in early 2026. (Bill Eddy wrote the foreword to our book!). We are members of the Amicable Divorce Network and believe in child-centered divorce, which means that we will do everything we can to try to keep you OUT of the courtroom, specifically by teaching you strategic communication and negotiation. Our course, “How To Communicate With Your Ex Without Destroying Your Case or Losing Your Mind” is available now.
