Move from confusion and chaos to confidence and empowerment
Separation and divorce are life-changing events. It is easy to become overwhelmed, frustrated, and to feel as if your life is spiraling out of control. It is also very common to try to keep this part of your life private, but this is an incredibly difficult task. Many women also feel pressure to make the relationship work, which adds to the emotional stress in the process.
Divorce can be particularly difficult when children are involved. Creating an effective parenting plan can be overwhelming and requires the need to think about today and into the future. It also requires the parents to work together to build a new coparenting relationship that limits conflict, supports the children, and allows flexibility in real-world situations.
The Solution - Divorce Transition Coaching
Divorce coaching provides education, insight, and planning for separation and divorce. It is tailored to your needs and goals, ensuring you have the knowledge and the resources needed at this challenging time in life.
Divorce Transition Coaching is a confidential, one-on-one coaching process. As the coach, I work with you to assist in strategically approaching decisions, creating options, and evaluating the short and long-term impacts of the decision - on your terms.
Divorce is not the end - it is a transition in life. Through divorce coaching, you have the ability to take control of your separation and divorce to feel empowered and in control at all steps in the process.
Divorce coaching is most effective for women who are:
Determining if separation and divorce is the right decision
Feeling overwhelmed or uncertain of what to do in ending the relationship
Requiring a structured approach to hiring the right professionals throughout separation and divorce
Wanting to have control over decisions
Feeling "stuck in the past" but don't know why
Wanting to develop a comprehensive strategy for reducing conflict and moving forward
MY SERVICES
Divorce Coaching
Divorce transition coaching offers education, information, and practical, strategic planning for before, during, and after the divorce. A divorce coach does not provide legal services, but rather provides confidential, individual, support throughout the divorce process.
The Benefits
Through divorce transition coaching, you have a trusted professional to help you explore options, consider choices, and make decisions based on your current and future goals and plans. Through strategic planning, you can prepare for conversations with professionals, divorce negotiation and mediation, and structuring conversations with your spouse, even when the topics are emotional and difficult.
Using an experienced divorce transition coach reduces conflict and avoids second-guessing your decisions. The process gives you time to consider choices and options with a professional who only has your best interests at heart.
Reduce the Cost of Divorce
As a divorce coach with experience in working with attorneys, mediators, and other divorce professionals, I work with clients to:

Determine and select other professionals essential for the divorce process
Fully understand their options and the impact of their choices on their life

Consider options and develop a workable, practical, and effective parenting plan
Know you have made the right decisions
Some essential considerations to keep in mind through the process:
Divorce is not a personal failure.
Divorce does not define you as a person, professional, mom, or partner.
You have an opportunity to move forward in life following your dreams.
You can and will get through the divorce process with clarity and confidence.
You do not have to do this on your own.
Divorce is never easy. I believe you have the emotional resources, skills, and abilities to grow through this process and come out stronger on the other side. We can do this together.
