Helping families navigate the difficult terrain of separation, divorce & co-parenting. Specialized

Financial abuse is one of the most pervasive forms of domestic violence, and it often plays out through the legal process in family law files. It can look like delayed disclosure, disproportionate parenting resources, or the manipulation of support obligations. However, these are not just financial disputes, they’re forms of control. I welcome you to read my latest blog here.

I’m pleased to share the publication of our paper, "Prioritizing Safety in Family Law: A Stage-Gating Approach to Domestic Violence and Parent-Child Contact Problems," in the Journal of Family Trauma, Child Custody & Child Development. It was a privilege to collaborate with Natalie Beltrano and Archer-Kuhn Beth on this work. Our paper recognizes that to truly prioritize child safety in parent-child contact problems, domestic violence must be given priority consideration by being assessed and addressed before examining other contributors.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Excited to share a major milestone! I am now fully certified in Litigation and Evaluation involving Abuse Allegations in Family Court Cases (LEFCC) through the Institute on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma (IVAT), making me the second person in Canada to achieve this designation alongside my colleague, Glenda Lux.

This advanced certification equips me with specialized expertise to assess abuse allegations in high-conflict family law cases. Through over 30 hours of training, I gained skills in areas critical to these cases, such as evaluating credibility in abuse allegations, understanding coercive control and its impact on parenting, using the BWJP SaFer Assessment Model, addressing ethics and bias in assessment, and evidence-based evaluation in cases involving both abuse and alienation concerns.

A heartfelt thank you to IVAT and the experts leading this program. I’m honoured to bring this enhanced skill set to support families in Alberta, helping ensure safe and fair outcomes in family court.
