Build the new life you deserve
Divorce is a daunting process. As your divorce coach, I’m on your side, to help you think through all the decisions, keep you focused on building your new future centered in your values and priorities.
Individual Coaching
When we work together, we start with what you worry about the most and we walk through the whole thing together. Save money by being prepared, avoid mistakes by having a thinking partner, protect your happiness and your children by knowing what you need.
Community
A group coaching experience that covers all the main areas of divorce in addition to having a community of supporters to learn with and from.
Reduce or eliminate OVERWHELM
You probably feel some level of overwhelm right now. That’s totally normal, and working with me as your divorce coach is the #1 way to relieve that feeling.
I use a process called C.O.R.E. during our sessions:
C = Concerns The divorce coaching process always starts with listening to you. What is concerning you most and having you decide what we focus on for the day.
O=Options Options are revealed as we explore the path from your concern to clarity. I will provide information within my scope of practice and help you get organized for talking to your experts (lawyer, CDFA, Mediator, etc.) so you save money.
R=Reflection We take time to reflect on how you can be your best self and aligned with your values throughout this journey
E=Effective actions I am your partner and will help you plan for taking effective actions at each step of the process.
As our work continues, you’ll find that your feelings of overwhelm are replaced with a feeling of calm agency because you are taking effective actions toward a new post-divorce life that is better than you ever thought it could be.
When you work with me, you get…
- Someone who is divorced and knows first hand some of what you are going through.
- The experience of a certified ICF Life Coach, and CDC certified Divorce Coach.
- Three decades creating and leading leadership development and mentorship programs for Fortune 500 companies and higher education.
- 25 years of experience with organizational consulting for projects, processes, and governance.
Decades of Experience and success to support you and your whole life
“Successful” divorce is not as much about “winning” over the other party as it is about setting you up for your new life.
It’s about doing the right work with the right advisors and team members to get the results you need to support your future life (and your children’s well-being).
That’s why it’s important to work with someone with the education and experience necessary to help you think through the myriad decisions, organize the information, and negotiate successfully without spending your family’s savings on things that don’t serve your future well-being.
As your divorce coach I will work with you to help you make decisions that are from your values and direct you toward your best future.
What do I look for in a client?
When looking for a divorce coach, it’s important that you look for someone who specializes in your needs.
Are you someone who…
- feels overwhelmed in managing the projects and issues stacking up in your personal and professional life?
- faces the chaotic process of divorce on top of everything else?
- wants to go through your divorce while keeping your integrity intact?
- has a support network (friends and family), but they are not able (or willing) to advise you well at this time?
- is ready to invest in creating a new and better life?
If any of those sound like you, we should have a conversation!

There are some things I don’t do
Before you contact me about serving as your divorce coach, there are a few things you should know. There are certain things I do not do for my clients.
- I Don’t Do Therapy or Counseling. If you need mental health care, I’m not qualified for that. You will want to contact a mental health professional. I have resources to share that can help you do that.
- I Don’t give Legal or Financial Advice. I do help you get organized so that your lawyer and the rest of the people on your Divorce Team see you as a competent and organized client. I do help you clarify your values and priorities so that when you negotiate you are good at it. This will save you time and money.
- I Don’t Wave a Magic Wand and Make It All Happen for You.
Oh boy! Do I wish someone had one of those!
Your process will take openness, time, and effort on your part. If you want to work with me, I need to know that you are open to what I say and are willing to follow up. I will expect you to put in the effort to make progress. If we ever get to the point where l believe progress has stopped, then we will have a conversation about continuing.
OK. One more thing…
