“It is very gratifying to help people through the most difficult times of their lives,” Schrader said. “I love when a couple is close to divorce and reconnects, or a teenager struggling with school regains their confidence.” Schrader enjoys working with young adults and teenagers because “they have a special energy that is often unappreciated.”
Schrader believes in the importance of family and if at all possible, keeping them intact. When necessary, she provides direction to ease the daunting divorce process and help achieve positive outcomes to create livable and realistic parent timesharing agreements. Schrader earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Maryland and graduated with honors from Rollins College with a Master of Arts degree in community mental health. She has lived in Florida since 1990 and is married with two grown children and two stepchildren.
