FAQ

  • What exactly is divorce coaching?

    Divorce coaching is emotional, strategic, and practical support during and after divorce. Unlike therapy, which explores your past, or a lawyer, who focuses on legal outcomes, a divorce coach helps you:

    Navigate high-conflict co-parenting

    Prepare for court, mediation, and custody hearings

    Set boundaries with a difficult or narcissistic ex

    Advocate for your child, especially if they have special needs

    Rebuild your confidence and sense of direction

  • How is this different from therapy?

    Therapy is often past-focused and diagnoses mental health conditions. Divorce coaching is future-focused, action-oriented, and rooted in helping you problem-solve, regulate emotions, and prepare for what’s next.

    If you’re working with a therapist — wonderful! Coaching can complement that beautifully.

  • Do you offer legal advice?

    No. I am not an attorney and do not give legal advice. I help you prepare emotionally, mentally, and practically for your legal journey, but I always recommend working with a qualified family law attorney when making legal decisions.

  • What kinds of women do you work with?

    I work with women navigating:

    High-conflict divorce or separation

    Custody disputes, especially involving a narcissistic or abusive co-parent

    Special needs parenting during and after divorce

    Emotional fallout from coercive control, manipulation, and gaslighting

    Strategic court and mediation preparation

    post-divorce healing

    If you feel overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure of your next step — you’re in the right place.
