I specialize in divorce and relationship coaching, but I’m also certified as a transition coach. I help guide women through all kinds of challenging life transitions, including changing careers, re-entering the workforce, starting a family, and recovering from death or divorce. As a transition coach, I help you reduce overwhelm, find clarity, envision the future you most want, and work with you to plot out clear, actionable steps to get there.

Yes! Whether you’re considering starting a new career or are re-entering the workforce after a hiatus, I can help you envision, plan for, and build the career you want to have. I’ll also help you look at your life holistically and make sure your career plan fits in the life you want to lead.

A divorce coach works as a member of your team to support you before, during and after divorce. As a CDC-Certified Divorce Coach, I’m trained to help you process emotion, make smart decisions, and avoid costly mistakes. I help my clients reduce overwhelm, stay future-focused, and make wise financial and emotional decisions during one of the most stressful times in their lives. No one truly wins in divorce, but I’ll help you make confident decisions and come out of it as whole as possible.

In the Transition Roadmap, we’ll uncover how coaching will help you specifically. We’ll consider the big picture and determine where you should allocate your time and money. You will get an idea of what divorce generally entails, what is expected of you, who is involved and where you need to start. Together, we’ll create actionable next steps to get you where you want to go.

Divorce can be expensive, yes. It’s counter-intuitive that adding another person to your team could save you money in the long run, but it’s the truth. The business of divorce is mostly about making decisions and I’ll help you be prepared to make well-informed, smart financial decisions. A cost-effective divorce requires organization and getting laser focused on your own priorities. I’ll help you drown out the noise and avoid costly mistakes due to emotional overload. I can also refer you to financial specialists if necessary. It’s all about having a plan and sticking to it.

We’ll talk about your concerns with parenting with an ex and common pitfalls to healthy communication. There are a lot of helpful resources around this issue and we will go down that path together. Co-parenting through and after divorce doesn't need to be contentious. I’ll help you develop an effective co-parenting plan that prioritizes grace and cooperation.

We’ll get a clear picture of what you want and the person you want to be during your divorce and we’ll figure out together how to make it happen. This will entail setting goals with clear, actionable steps. I will be there to help you practice communicating what you want in meetings and help you practice hard conversations with family members. I can also review and edit emails and texts so that you can stand strong while defusing conflict.

Yes! No matter where you are in your life, dating can be intimidating and overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to start. I’ll help you reduce the overwhelm, gain confidence, and approach dating with a fresh, open perspective.

It is very common to feel unsure about how others in your community and social circle will react to your divorce. You may even feel shame. We will work through this together and discover ways to communicate about the divorce with others and maintain your social connections. You can figure out your "divorce story" and come to realize that, while it is painful, there is no shame in divorce. On the contrary, it can be a chance for growth and new beginnings.

During divorce, we are often overloaded emotionally and logistically. There is usually a lot of paperwork, decisions, meetings, and emotional ups and downs. It can be intense and our brain, realizing we are in crisis, reverts to what is called its "reptilian state." This makes it hard to think clearly and our emotions can overcome our thought processes.

​

We need someone to brainstorm with, to help keep us on track, to unload our concerns. Someone to walk with us down the unknown path until we can get out of crisis mode and like our old self again. Sometimes, our friends, wanting to help as much as possible, will get burned out and feel they can't help or can't do enough. Friends also don’t necessarily have the experience or expertise to be as helpful as they want to be.

I can absolutely still help after divorce. Many women need support long after the papers are signed. You still have a lot of hard decisions to make and you’re still picking up the pieces of your former life as you transition into your new normal. It’s a lot to process alone. You may be struggling with co-parenting, re-entering the workforce, managing your post-divorce finances, feeling intimidated by dating, and you may find that friendships have changed and fractured. My specialty is working with women before, during AND after divorce. Life doesn’t automatically get easier once your divorced has been finalized. Sometimes the hardest stuff is only just beginning.

Coaching is a confidential process and I will not contact you unless you say it is ok. Each meeting is private and secure.
