“Change is inevitable . . . except from a vending machine”
Changes, challenges and transitions in our lives are truly inevitable…whether thrust upon us or chosen, life affirming or steeped in loss. We cannot always avoid these transitions, but we can strive to embrace challenges, learn and grow from them, and create a life that is enhanced and enriched by our struggles.

After many years of working with parents and families who were devastated by acrimonious divorce litigation, Dr. Wilner determined she needed to seek a more proactive way to help families cope with the profound loss associated with divorce, and intervene earlier in their divorce process. This led her down a challenging and gratifying path toward developing her skills in alternative dispute resolution. Dr. Wilner has worked as a divorce mediator for 9 years, and as a Collaborative Divorce Coach and Child Specialist for 8 years. She has experienced first-hand many profound moments with divorcing couples and their children, and has witnessed the benefits of avoiding contentious litigation.
