I am excited to announce that I have completed the certification and am adding a coercive control certification to my coaching practice. What does this mean? It means that I have the understanding and the skills to help protective parents not only navigate the very broken family court system, but I can help protective parents protect themselves from the very real harm that an abuser will inflict on the attachment that the child(ren) has with the healthy, protective parent. An abuser doesn't stop abusing after divorce--they just switch tactics and now their goal is revenge--even if the children are damaged in the process.

"Carie was enrolled in my High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification (May 2021) and has since become certified as a high-conflict divorce coach. Carie’s personal journey and experience, along with the course certification, give me confidence that she will be an amazing resource and advocate for those who find themselves in a high-conflict divorce or child-custody battle. It was an honor to have her in the program and I look forward to cheering her on in her coaching business."
- Tina Swithin, CEO/Founder of the High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification Program
"Carie walked with me through the overwhelming process of facing contempt charges by my ex-spouse and a modification of custody in family court. Carie truly went above and beyond in her care and understanding of post-separation abuse, the specific circumstances of my case, and in providing sound advice that would provide positive outcomes throughout the court process, while still upholding my personal integrity.
Carie helped me set appropriate boundaries, and then to uphold them in the face of manipulative and coercive behavior from my ex. The time she took to hear my concerns and provide well-thought responses showed family court professionals involved in my case that I am the caring and reasonable party.
Carie went out of her way to meet with me in-person the day before my hearing, and then drove 4-hours to attend and provide support during the hearing itself.
The results? Carie’s help has been worth every penny, saving me hours of legal fees and a potentially longer court process. My ex dropped all charges of contempt and agreed to less visitation rights than he was already receiving. A complete win. I am so grateful."
