Hello, I’m Renata.

I help separated families stay respectful and connected
even when they are apart.
Your child’s wellbeing and daily functioning depends on the quality of your co-parenting partnership.
Parenting Coordination
Respectful co-parenting partnership, and how your child lives two-home lives, truly matters.
The end of your romantic relationship did not end your roles as parents. In fact, for many, these roles become even more significant. Navigating co-parenting after a separation or divorce can be challenging and often lasts for many years. You love your children. They deserve to thrive in a supportive and loving environment, regardless of your relationship status.
Children are perceptive; they observe and absorb the dynamics between both parents. How you communicate and interact with your co-parent impacts every member of your family. If you are both involved in your children's lives, the question isn't whether to co-parent, but rather how to do so effectively and respectfully.
Parenting coordination offers a structured, professional approach to help parents communicate more effectively, resolve conflicts, and importantly, make decisions in the best interest of their children without going to court.
Whether you're facing challenges with implementing court orders, shared parenting plans, contact hours, schedules, discipline, or important decisions, parenting coordination provides the guidance and support you need to navigate through these situations.
