Let's talk about your situation
my story
From Nurse Practitioner to High‑Conflict Divorce Consultant
Once upon a time, I was twenty-two, fresh out of nursing school, marrying a man I already had a flicker of doubt about, but I told myself it wasn't my place to judge someone else's rough childhood.
Twenty years, three kids, and a full career in gastroenterology later, I found out exactly what that flicker had been trying to tell me.
The man everyone knew and loved was not the same person I experienced behind closed doors.
And When I Finally Entered the Divorce Process, Things Only Became More Complicated.
I found myself navigating family court, struggling to explain the dynamics of my marriage to my own attorney, and learning an entirely new language: coercive control, narcissistic abuse, and post-separation abuse.
I had an attorney to guide me through the legal process. But what I desperately needed was someone who understood the patterns I was experiencing and could help me figure out how to navigate them.
Someone who could help me make sense of what was happening, prepare for difficult situations, and make decisions without constantly second-guessing myself.
And that kind of support was incredibly hard to find.
i've been in your shoes.
Why I Founded Solidarity Consulting
Going through my own divorce showed me just how much support was missing for people navigating high-conflict relationships.
I had an attorney to handle the legal process. But I needed help understanding the behavior I was experiencing, communicating effectively, preparing for difficult situations, and making sense of everything happening between legal appointments.
I knew I couldn't be the only person feeling this way.
So I combined my firsthand experience with nearly three decades of clinical expertise and specialized training in high-conflict divorce, coercive control, and narcissistic abuse.
And Solidarity Consulting was born.
