The Example Your Children Will Remember

The kids are always watching. This is where my passion for working with my clients starts.

Five years from now, how do you want your children to say you handled your divorce?

Divorce is hard, but it’s also an opportunity to model resilience, strength, and grace. To show them that when life gets difficult, you rise. You grow. You move forward with dignity.

You’re not just navigating a divorce. You’re shaping the example your children will carry into their own lives.

My Journey

Divorce reshapes more than legal status. It reshapes identity, routines, finances, and family dynamics.

I was a stay-at-home mom for 22 years and worked in our family business. After 27 years, I had the courage to walk away from an unhealthy marriage. Staying is hard, and leaving is hard.

Choose your hard.

Because this was my experience, I specialize in supporting women coming out of long-term marriages—especially stay-at-home moms navigating the emotional and financial realities of starting over.

Men need support too. In high-conflict divorces, I work with the least toxic partner—the one seeking help, guidance, and a healthier way forward. Sometimes, that is the husband.

That experience led me to pursue professional training in divorce recovery coaching so I could offer others the steady guidance I once needed.

What is a Divorce Coach?

A divorce coach is a professional who provides support, guidance, and tools to individuals going through the emotionally turbulent process of divorce. They focus on helping individuals navigate this life transition and move towards healing, growth, and rediscovery.

What services does a divorce coach provide?

A divorce coach provides a range of services including emotional support, strategic planning, confidence-building, self-care techniques, and assistance in rebuilding life post-divorce. They can also help in managing stress, dealing with custody and legal issues, and setting new life goals.

How is a divorce coach different from a therapist or counselor?

While therapists or counselors focus on past traumas, psychological issues, and long-term mental health, a divorce coach is action-oriented and focuses on the present and future. They provide practical strategies and steps to help you manage your current situation and move forward.

How long will I need a divorce coach?

The duration of the coaching relationship varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from a few months of coaching while others may choose to work with a coach for a year or more. It’s a personalized process and the coach will work with you to establish a timeframe that suits your needs.

Will my sessions with the divorce coach be confidential?

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the coaching relationship., but is not the same as “attorney client privilege”. For this reason, I do not record our sessions or keep notes on our sessions. This way, I am unable to share information about our sessions and they can remain private.

Do you work with men?

Yes, men need support too. I work with clients seeking support to navigate divorce in a healthy way for the family, and sometimes, this client is the dad/husband.

What if I feel fine after my divorce, do I still need a coach?

Even if you feel fine, a divorce marks a significant life transition and can bring about unforeseen challenges. A divorce coach can help you navigate these changes and ensure you’re emotionally prepared for your new phase of life. However, the decision to engage a coach is entirely up to you.

Can I work with a divorce coach remotely?

Yes, many divorce coaches offer remote sessions via phone, video calls, or online platforms. This allows you to work with a coach from the comfort of your own home, no matter where you are located.

What if my ex-spouse and I are on good terms, do I still need a divorce coach?

Even amicable divorces involve significant life changes and transitions. A divorce recovery coach can help you navigate these changes and provide strategies for maintaining a positive relationship with your ex-spouse.

Can a divorce coach help with co-parenting issues?

Yes, a divorce coach can provide guidance and strategies to manage co-parenting challenges. They can help you develop effective communication, navigate conflict, and maintain focus on the well-being of your children.

Can a divorce coach help me regain my self-confidence?

Absolutely. A significant part of recovery after divorce involves rebuilding self-esteem and confidence. Your coach can guide you through this process, providing tools and strategies to help you reconnect with your self-worth and capabilities.

Can a divorce coach help me deal with feelings of guilt or failure?

Yes, feelings of guilt, failure, and shame are common after a divorce. A divorce coach can help you work through these feelings, shift your perspective, and move towards acceptance and forgiveness.

Can a divorce coach help me manage my relationship with my in-laws post-divorce?

Yes, a divorce coach can provide strategies for managing complex family dynamics post-divorce, including maintaining healthy boundaries and effective communication with in-laws.
