Nobody understands the trouble you’ve seen like we do.
When you first got married, you may have expected to live “happily ever after.” I know I did.
You dreamed of one thing and were served up a whole different reality.
Single parents and stepfamilies and many involved in divorce/breakup deal with many unique challenges and changes, often happening at the same time. These transitions create strong feelings of loss, anger, sadness, regret, fear, and frustration because they involve the center of our heart and lives- our loved ones, our children, our families, and our future.
That’s why we created The Bridge Across – to bring compassion, understanding, and effective, fast solutions to the stressful and often complicated world of single parent families and stepfamilies. Contact us today and let us help you find hope, peace, and confidence… and a better life for you and your children now.

We have walked many miles in your same shoes.
Wrestling with the challenges of bringing families together? Seeking ways to create a home with children revolving in and out of your home? It can be complicated – but we have found the ways to build a stronger and empowered stepfamily while keeping the passion and love alive for the couple.
Trying to figure out how to help the children – and stepchildren – in your life as they deal with changes in family structure? We work with children and adults to address these specific issues and bring healing and confidence to you.
Difficult ex? Or married to someone who has one? Former spouse saying or doing things that confuse and hurt you or your children? We know how frustrating and hurtful that can feel. We help you get through getting sued, prepare for mediation or modification, show you how to communicate and manage an ex while keeping your home a haven, and calm those feelings of being attacked.
What do you actually need to know and need to do to heal from the sadness, anger, hurt, and/or trauma of an important relationship? And how do you move forward so you make better choices in the future. We guide you step by step.
You can overcome these challenges and move to confidence, empowerment, and understanding.
