A lot of things in life turn into bigger problems because we choose to ignore the smaller ones. I see this all the time with clients, many of whom come to me when a situation at home (either with their kids or with their partner) is out of control and they’re on the verge of [...]

Will You Marry Me?

Is there a record somewhere of how many times this question has been asked? And how does one translate this in other languages? I am curious to learn more about formal proposals in other cultures.

Come Together

The last few days have been pretty emotional for me. On Wednesday, my ex-husband and I met at Family Court for Mediation. Just before we were called in for our appointment, my boyfriend sent me a text from the airport. He should have been boarding a plane to San Diego, but instead, he was in [...]
