Gabrielle was incredibly helpful as I worked through the initial stages of helping a family member with their divorce proceedings. She was always timely in responding, and was very friendly and professional in correspondence. I would not hesitate to recommend that people reach out to her if needing to talk about your situation.

Gabrielle's book "Better Apart" was a God send. Helping me sort through the feelings and confusion when it comes to a relationship not working and needing to think about ending a marriage. It is not easy, and besides all the emotions you have to think about the legal side of things. This book help with both, helping to start to see a way forward for those who, like me, want to do as little damage as possible and try to preserve some dignity and friendship with my long time partner. Great book and its been so helpful working through it. Also had a great 20 minute consultation with Gabrielle which was so encouraging and hlepful.

We just finished our divorce agreement, and I couldn't be happier. Gabrielle helped us get through this process with her patience, knowledge, and compassion. Going through mediation instead of a traditional divorce is highly recommended. Gabrielle's reassurance and expertise will see you through it. Divorce doesn't have to be a battle!
