About Parent Team

With the right tools and support, two-home families thrive.

There's no question that divorce can have negative outcomes—especially for kids. But when the adults around them get on the same team, from educators to attorneys to mental health professionals, that risk is significantly reduced. That's what Parent Team is all about.

A message to parents...

When parents don’t get along, they naturally worry about how their conflict will affect their kids. Too often, their concern turns inward and becomes guilt and shame—usually because of other people’s disapproval. Please know there is absolutely no judgment at Parent Team. We love families of all structures and in all stages. We’re truly honored you’re here.
MEET THE PROS BEHIND PARENT TEAM

We're Jen and Brandyn.

We met through our work as "neutrals" in supporting clients in the Collaborative Divorce Process—which is just a fancy way of saying we collaborate with attorneys to help parents navigate parenting plans, big emotions, and financial matters.

Often, we've come away from those conversations feeling the weight of parental conflict. But we've also felt hope. The overwhelming majority of parents want to protect their kids from the negative effects of divorce. They just need someone to show them how.

Our deepest desire is for parents to find their "how"—the support, tools, and resources they need—through Parent Team.

Divorce and co-parenting are hard. During all of the transitions and unknowns of the divorce process, Brandyn helped us stay on track with good parenting decisions that always kept our toddler's best interests in mind. We were able to work through some big disagreements!

I am very grateful we can be proactive and smoothly navigate any road bumps in order to be the best co-parents possible for our son.

As a family law attorney, I have had the pleasure of working with Jen and Brandyn on many contentious cases. They are thoughtful, skilled, and have an obvious and deep passion for helping families in crisis. I highly recommend Parenting From Two Homes and any other resources they offer.

With her compassionate professionalism, Jen helped our family navigate a very stressful time. We're going to be much better at co-parenting because of the process we went through with her and her team.
