Save Money
Using your lawyer as a therapist? Big mistake. Lawyers charge high hourly fees, and —they’re often not trained to handle your trauma or pain. A coach is different.
Get Focused
The paperwork and legal jargon of divorce can feel overwhelming. A coach helps you stay focused on your future, keeping you motivated and prepared.
Someone in your corner
After parting ways with a long-time partner, it’s natural to feel lost and unsure of how to move forward. A coach steps in as your advocate, providing the guidance and support you need to navigate this new chapter with confidence.
Financial Planning
Whether it’s untangling retirement accounts or building a budget a coach customized a plan to tackle the numbers with confidence.
Negotiation Prep
Divorce requires deciding how to divide marital property and debts, determine alimony or child support, and establish living arrangements. No detail can be overlooked—even the smallest spoon in the kitchen needs a new home.
Parenting Plans
When couples part ways, emotions often run high, making it difficult to create a clear and effective co-parenting plan. Amidst the stress of divorce, critical details are often overlooked, leading to unnecessary challenges and conflicts down the road. Let’s build a plan that works for everyone involved—especially your kids.

Why would I need a Divorce Coach?
Why Would I Need a Divorce Coach?
Divorce is overwhelming—even for the strongest among us. It’s ranked as the second most stressful life event, and it’s no surprise why. The questions feel endless, and the answers? Hard to find.
- What will divorce mean for me and my family?
- Can I keep things amicable while still protecting myself?
- How do I minimize the impact on my kids?
- What happens to our retirement savings and pensions?
- Why does my spouse suddenly feel like a stranger?
Here’s the truth: fear thrives in the unknown, but knowledge is the antidote. That’s where I come in. As a divorce coach, I help you prepare for what’s next, prioritize the critical tasks, and process the emotions that come with it all. When you have the right support and a clear plan, you make confident, informed decisions—and that leads to better outcomes for you and your family.
Divorce doesn’t have to mean chaos. Let’s make it a process you can manage and control.
Is it too much to have an attorney and a Divorce Coach?
Not at all. A divorce coach works alongside your attorney as part of your team, complementing their expertise to make the process smoother. You still need a family law specialist for legal advice, but working with a coach helps you maximize every interaction with your attorney.
Here’s how: by processing emotions, clarifying your goals, and prepping with your coach, you’ll communicate more effectively with your attorney. That means they can focus on the legal strategy, leading to better outcomes and, often, a smaller legal bill. It’s about working smarter, not harder—and saving both time and money in the process.
