I became a coach to focus more of my time and expertise on supporting people through major life changes that are isolating and daunting to conquer alone by filling the gap between the services provided to clients by a therapist and those provided by an attorney.  Whether you are worried about finances, your kids, retirement, the legal divorce process, healing from the pain of the separation, or just the future in general, I can help you navigate the business of divorce and the lived experience of divorce.  I have been on this emotional rollercoaster and I can help you expedite your return to the station and disembark.

I am here to help you strategize, cope, and succeed in your divorce, and to move forward with confidence to create a post-divorce life you are excited to live.

Because I’ve been in your shoes, I know how important it is to have someone you can count on and trust!

Divorce is a plot twist – not the end of your story. It can be a life-changing opportunity to grow, evolve, rediscover your values, reconnect with your soul, revive your spirit, and come out ahead in ways you never thought possible.

When I married my first husband, I thought I had it all going for me.  I was checking off all the boxes on the checklist of what we are told we should be achieving to be successful – get a good education and a career, fall in love, get married, buy a house, – and of course, we’d have kids, eventually grandkids, and be sitting next to each other in our rocking chairs on our front porch in our old age.  I thought I had the rest of my life figured out.

Until one day it all came crashing down.  I found myself brokenhearted, initiating a divorce I never envisioned, grieving the loss of him as my constant companion and the future we would never have together, facing financial ruin, feeling like a complete failure, terrified of starting over, overworking to avoid my pain, and sometimes struggling to get through the day or believe that I would ever be happy again.  I suffered longer than I had to, and I didn’t really see any way to get past what I was feeling.

It wasn’t until I sought out someone who could help me gain a different perspective that I was able to heal and fully realize how my ex-husband and I were catalysts for each other’s growth for reasons I couldn’t see at the time.

More than ten years later, having successfully navigated my divorce to a place of peace and gratitude, living a life I love again, and having helped hundreds of other people through the legal process, I coach others who do not want the divorce to define their lives but be an opportunity to grow and discover the next version of themselves.
