DIVORCE COACHING

There’s a reason your windshield
is bigger than your rear-view mirror.
Where you’re heading is so much bigger
than where you’ve been!

As your divorce coach, we focus on the present and the future. Together we will construct a path to achieve your goals, and I will support you the entire way. We do not look at what has happened and why, but instead focus on where you want to go and how you will get there.

IS DIVORCE COACHING RIGHT FOR ME?

There’s a good reason the American Bar Association continues to recommend Divorce Coaching.

“A flexible goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate and guide you through your divorce to make the best possible decisions for your future, customized for your individual needs interests and concerns.”

HOW I HELP

Working with me you benefit directly from my years of experience and collective wisdom working with many people going through this process.

I provide emotional support, help you navigate the system, save time and money, provide practical suggestions and interventions, provide a platform of support and guidance as you let go of what was and create what is possible during your divorce journey.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Divorce can be extremely difficult… often bringing out the worst in people who are experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.

Together we work on managing emotions, and your own stress reactions common during separation and divorce. I will provide guidance to help you to avoid making some of the common mistakes people make when going through divorce.

I help you develop new skills such as understanding how your own thinking sometimes interferes with your effectiveness.

As you transition to your new life, together we create new approaches to address challenging situations more effectively. Knowing that dynamics between parents can interfere with a successful outcome, you are able to see other points of view; even those of your ex, thus helping you engage more constructively in negotiations.

NAVIGATE THE PROCESS

Are you attempting to navigate the divorce process with a partner who is not supportive? If so, you might need the assistance of a divorce coach.

I work with you to customize co-parenting communication for your individual situation, thus enabling you to make informed decisions about the many areas of change. I provide guidance and direction to help you find the appropriate resources you need.

In a calm and supportive setting, I help you understand your options as you learn negotiations and communication skills and techniques to help you make difficult decisions related to lifestyle, parenting and family interactions. We explore a wide array of custody agreements and parenting plans customized to your children’s needs.

You emerge feeling calm, supported, armed with specific communication skills. You will learn how to strategize to maximize your own strengths, ready to achieve your goals without sacrificing your self-esteem.

SAVE MONEY AND TIME

Attorneys are expensive! If you’re looking to cut costs, Divorce Coaching is for you!

Often acrimony is intensified due to emotional issues causing an impasse in the settlement… and the costs of the entire process can be far greater. And if you take your divorce to litigation, it is highly likely to be quite costly.

With me you learn specific strategies to use your attorney’s time well. I work with clients so they can present and be the best they can be in actual negotiations, including their mediation, SENE and custody evaluation.

You learn to manage and contain emotions, be rational at a difficult time, make agreements you will feel good about and that serve your children’s needs.

END GAME

You find a balance between the legal aspects of divorce, your inward journey, and moving on with life motivated and empowered to work toward goals of living a fuller life after divorce, redefining and rebuilding your life.
