Divorce Coaching: A Recognized Profession and a Vital Support
Divorce coaching is designed to help. It is a profession formally recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as a valuable resource for individuals going through divorce. The ABA describes divorce coaching as a way to help clients navigate the divorce process with clarity, organization, and confidence while working in partnership with their legal and mental health professionals.
As a certified divorce coach, I am proud to support clients during one of the hardest seasons of their lives. My role is to guide you through the process with professionalism, compassion, and strategy. I combine specialized training with lived experience to provide a safe space where you can gain perspective, prepare for important conversations, and move forward with dignity.
How I Support My Clients
Support and Strategy: I help you prepare for mediation, court, or attorney meetings so you feel confident and clear about your goals. We organize information, clarify priorities, and practice communication strategies so that you can work more effectively with your legal team.
Trauma-Informed Guidance: With certifications in coercive control and EFT for trauma, I understand the emotional impact of high-conflict divorce. I provide tools that help you stay calm, grounded, and able to make thoughtful choices instead of reacting out of stress or fear.
Child-Centered Approach: I keep the best interest of the child at the center of every conversation. This standard is important to the courts, but even more importantly, it protects your children’s well-being.
Collaboration with Professionals: I work in partnership with attorneys, therapists, and guardians ad litem. My coaching strengthens communication with your team and ensures you get the most out of their expertise.
What I Do Not Do
It is equally important to be clear about what I do not do. My role is to guide, not to cross professional boundaries or put your case at risk.
I do not encourage clients to represent themselves in court when legal representation is needed.
I do not encourage clients to ignore the advice of their attorneys. Your lawyer is your legal authority.
I do not interfere with or undermine attorneys, therapists, or guardians ad litem.
I do not provide legal advice or act as a legal authority.
I do not recommend posting about your case on social media. In fact, I strongly advise against it, because public posting can damage your credibility in court and compromise your children’s privacy.
Why This Matters
Divorce coaching should never create harm in a legal case. Poor or misleading guidance can do long-term damage in family court. That is why training, ethics, and professionalism are so important in this work.
When you work with me, you can trust that my focus is on protecting your credibility, strengthening your ability to work with your legal team, and helping you make decisions that are thoughtful and strategic. My coaching is grounded in professionalism and integrity, and my commitment is to your well-being and your children’s best interests.
Moving Forward with Confidence
Divorce coaching is a recognized and legitimate profession that provides a crucial layer of support during one of life’s most difficult experiences. You do not have to go through this process alone.
My role is to walk beside you as a supportive guide, helping you steady yourself, organize your thoughts, and move through your divorce with clarity and confidence. Together, we can protect your peace of mind, safeguard your children’s well-being, and help you take steps toward the future you deserve.
