What is a Divorce Coach?
The American Bar Association defines divorce coaching as "a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns."
How is Divorce Coaching Different from Therapy or Legal Advice?
Therapists focus on emotional healing and the past. Attorneys focus on legal rights and outcomes. A divorce coach bridges the gap—helping you plan, communicate, and move forward with clarity in the present.
Do You Replace an Attorney or Therapist?
No. Coaching complements both. While I can’t give legal advice, I can help you prepare for meetings with your lawyer, understand what questions to ask, and stay emotionally regulated through the process. Many of my clients work with a therapist, a lawyer, or both—and I help them connect the dots so everyone is working toward the same goals.
What Can I Expect in a Coaching Session?
Each session is focused, goal-oriented, and supportive. We’ll identify what’s most pressing—whether it’s preparing for mediation, creating a parenting communication plan, or managing emotional overwhelm—and work step-by-step to create clarity and progress.
How Long Are Sessions and How Often Do We Meet?
Most sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients meet weekly during active divorce proceedings, others biweekly or monthly as they transition into co-parenting life. You set the pace based on your needs.
What Should I Bring or Prepare for My Sessions?
Just yourself—and a willingness to be honest about where you are and what you need!
Is Coaching Confidential?
Yes. Everything discussed in our sessions is confidential, except in situations required by law (such as safety concerns). Your privacy and trust are paramount
What If I’m Already Seeing a Therapist?
That’s completely fine—and often ideal. With your consent, I can coordinate with your therapist, to ensure consistent, supportive communication and alignment.
Do You Work With Parents of Children With Special Needs?
Yes. Supporting families with children who have unique medical, developmental, or educational needs is the cornerstone of my work. I understand how care continuity, school collaboration, and parenting-time logistics add layers of complexity—and I help you manage them strategically and compassionately.
Do You Help With Court or Documentation Preparation?
Yes. I can help you organize and present information clearly for legal or professional contexts—such as parenting journals, communication summaries, or timeline preparation—so you feel confident and prepared.
What If I’m Not Sure I’m Ready for Divorce?
That’s okay. Coaching can help you explore your options, clarify your values, and determine the healthiest path forward—whether that’s reconciliation, separation, or redefining your next chapter.
