High Conflict Divorce Coaching
If you’re dealing with court involvement, a high-conflict co-parent, or someone who consistently escalates, manipulates, or distorts reality, you already know this isn’t about “better communication.” It’s about strategy, regulation, and containment—knowing when engagement helps and when it quietly makes things worse.
I offer coaching for individuals navigating high-conflict dynamics, especially in the context of family court, custody disputes, child welfare, or ongoing legal involvement. This work is grounded in doctoral-level training and over 15 years of experience within court systems, county mental health, and child welfare, where I’ve seen how these dynamics actually unfold—not how they’re described online.
Court systems don’t operate on emotional truth; they rely on documentation, patterns, and behavior over time. Well-intentioned people often lose ground simply because they don’t understand this difference.
My coaching focuses on helping you stay regulated when communication is weaponized, set firm, defensible boundaries that hold under pressure, and stop over-explaining, defending, or trying to be “reasonable” with people who use reason as leverage. This isn’t about winning—it’s about not losing yourself while navigating systems that can be slow, impersonal, and destabilizing, especially when children are involved.
Coaching is practical and real-world focused. We work on boundary language, response scripts, decision-making under stress, and long-term strategy rather than constant firefighting.
This is coaching, not therapy, and it’s designed to support you alongside legal counsel—not replace it.
In addition to my clinical and court-based background, I am currently in advanced training related to child custody evaluation standards and processes, which further informs how I help clients navigate court dynamics, documentation, and communication.
Turning Psychological Chaos Into Courtroom Clarity
I developed the Revelation Report™ after repeatedly watching people become trapped in psychological warfare with no clear way to explain what was happening to them.
Courts often struggle to recognize these patterns, attorneys lack shared language to present them, and survivors are frequently dismissed as “emotional” or “dramatic”—all while becoming exhausted from trying to recover and defend themselves at the same time.
I created this tool to make the invisible visible.
The Revelation Report™ is a behavioral pattern analysis informed by psychology, neuroscience, and dual-system AI. It identifies manipulation tactics, communication patterns, coercive control behaviors, and emotional abuse cycles, and organizes them into a clear, court-ready document designed to support understanding within legal settings.

FAQs
What training and experience inform your high-conflict divorce coaching?
My work is grounded in advanced training in couples dynamics, attachment, psychological abuse, and high-conflict personality patterns, along with years of hands-on experience working with individuals and couples in intense relational distress. This background allows me to quickly identify manipulation tactics, escalation patterns, and emotional traps—so clients receive guidance that is both psychologically sound and practically applicable in real-world divorce and custody situations.
How does your couples and relationship training apply to divorce coaching?
High-conflict divorce is rarely about paperwork—it’s about relational patterns that didn’t end when the marriage did. My training in couples work allows me to recognize how power struggles, attachment wounds, and unspoken dynamics continue to play out during separation. This insight helps clients respond strategically rather than emotionally, reduce reactive cycles, and avoid repeating patterns that can damage their case or prolong conflict.
Does Dr. Michaela testify as an expert witness?
She provides expert guidance, case insights, and educational support regarding psychological manipulation and emotional abuse. Availability for formal expert witness testimony may vary depending on the case, jurisdiction, and scope of work. She does not act as a treating therapist for those she assesses.
What is The Revelation Report™
The Revelation Report™ is a comprehensive, trauma-informed behavioral analysis that identifies psychological manipulation, emotional abuse, coercive control, gaslighting, blame-shifting, and other patterns often present in high-conflict relationships. It distills complex psychological concepts into clear, court-friendly, accessible language.
Is the Revelation Report™ usable in court?
Yes. While it is not a formal psychological diagnosis, attorneys and judges frequently find it helpful for understanding the behavioral dynamics of a case. It provides context, clarity, and professional language that can support legal teams in navigating emotionally charged situations.
What is “psychological warfare” in a relationship or court case?
Psychological warfare refers to patterns of manipulation used to destabilize, confuse, intimidate, or exhaust another person. This may include gaslighting, DARVO, stonewalling, projection, control tactics, intermittent reinforcement, and narrative-shifting—many of which escalate during separation, custody disputes, or litigation.
Does The Revelation Report™ prove abuse?
The Revelation Report™ identifies, explains, and organizes the psychological warfare you might be experiencing into a clear, court-ready format that judges, mediators, and attorneys can actually understand and act on. Psychological abuse is often invisible, confusing, and difficult to articulate; my report turns that chaos into structured, evidence-based pattern analysis.
The report outlines the manipulation tactics used against you, maps the behavioral patterns over time, and translate everything into the kind of neutral, clinical language courts rely on. Instead of “he said/she said,” the report distinguishes victim from perpetrator through objective pattern recognition.
It helps legal teams streamline their case presentation, therapists support their clients with clarity, and survivors finally feel seen and validated.
The goal isn’t to promise outcomes — it’s to deliver clarity, credibility, and context.
Can Dr. Michaela help me prepare emotionally for court?
Yes. She offers guidance on:
- Staying centered during high-conflict interactions
- Responding (or not responding) to hostile communication
- Avoiding emotional triggers in court
- Understanding the psychological “game” being played
- Navigating DARVO and narrative manipulation
- Communicating in a grounded, factual, calm way
Her goal is to help clients show up confident, steady, and prepared.
Does she provide legal advice?
No. Dr. Michaela does not replace an attorney. She provides psychological insight, not legal strategy. Her role is to help clients understand the behavioral landscape and regulate effectively within it.
Does the report guarantee findings or outcomes?
No. The fee is payable regardless of outcome. The report reflects the evidence, documentation, and patterns present—not desired results or predetermined conclusions.

Psychological manipulation
Post-separation abuse
