Nobody likes an unexpected ending.

So Many Decisions

People come to the point of divorce for a variety of reasons, and most of them are usually borne out of disappointment on some level.  I was married for 21 years when my husband’s infidelity broke apart our relationship.  I reacted in all the wrong ways;  took all the wrong actions; made all the wrong choices. 

But it all took me by surprise. And even though we had a bad marriage from the words “I do,” ending the marriage was traumatic.  Divorce is the second highest stressor.  It wreaks havoc on your body, your mind, and your spirit.

The impact of the decision to choose divorce can be wide-ranging from how it affects our kids, our families, our friends, and ourselves.  Working with a divorce coach can help save you  money, time, angst, and yes, even some heartache.  

Why A Divorce Coach

In 2013, the American Bar Association added Divorce Coaching to its list of alternative dispute resolution methods, defining it as “a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce.”

Divorce is,  at its core, a business transaction.  But discounting the impact that emotions and feelings have on that transaction can be a huge misstep.

Together we are able to pinpoint how your emotions can work best for you, but also how they may be working against you.

You can begin to unravel the threads that have become jumbled and begin to weave them into a new tapestry.  One where you get to choose what goes in, what leaves, what stays.

As your Coach, I work as your support system, cheerleader, confidante, and guide.  I’ll hold the light, you’ll find your way.

How I Can Help You

My areas of expertise include relationship rescue, working through infidelity,  pre-mediation support, alternative dispute resolution and conflict management, co-parenting, working through finances, and personal growth. 

One On One Coaching

Relationships are hard work.   Sometimes, you just want to know you’re not crazy for how you are thinking and feeling, and that’s okay.  We all need that reassurance now and again.

Whether you’re deciding  to stay or go, if you or your partner has already decided to leave, or if you are neck-deep in the stressors of divorce, we work one-on-one to clear a path forward.

Co-Parenting Plans & Strategies

One of the hardest parts of divorce is seeing the effect it has on our kids. 

From deciding when to tell them about the divorce, to navigating resistance of their reactions, we work  to minimize the adverse effects by finding the  healthiest way forward. 

We can also work together to find a parenting plan that will serve both parents well.

Preparing for the Process

The legal system can feel like a battlefield especially if you’re unprepared.  While I do not give legal advice, I can help guide you through the process so you are informed and prepared.

We can devise co-parenting plans or review your financial information so you have a good handle on where things are.  We can work on preparing you for mediation so you are your best self-advocate.

Divorced, Now What?

Our time doesn’t have to end when your divorce is final.  Many of my clients choose to continue our relationship working  together as you see what life is like as a single person, re-enter the dating pool, navigate single parenthood, or just want to keep discovering the new you.  

Not all change is bad, but the anxiety and insecurity around those changes can feel utterly overwhelming.  You don’t have to go it alone.
