Frequently Asked Questions

A divorce coach helps you manage the emotional, practical, and decision-making parts of divorce so you can think clearly and act with intention. I help you clarify what you want for your future, organize what your attorney and other professionals need from you, prepare for important conversations, and stay steady when emotions run high.

Yes. The American Bar Association describes divorce coaching as “a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns.” Read the ABA’s overview.

Therapy often helps you heal, process the past, and address mental health concerns. Divorce coaching focuses on the present and the future: the decisions in front of you, the steps ahead, and the life you want to build. Many people work with both, and the two complement each other. If you need more emotional support than coaching provides, I’ll encourage you to work with a therapist.

No. I'm not an attorney, and I don't provide legal advice. I help you work more effectively with your attorney by organizing your thoughts, clarifying your goals, and preparing for meetings so your time together is efficient and productive.

A coach and an attorney play different roles. Your attorney handles the law. I help you handle the emotions, decisions, and preparation around the legal process. When you meet with your attorney prepared and clear about your goals, you can often use that time, and your legal fees, more effectively. If you’re working with a mediator or haven’t hired an attorney yet, I can help you prepare for that too.

Yes. Some clients come to me while they're considering divorce and weighing whether to stay or leave. I don't steer you toward either decision. I help you get clear about what you want, so whatever you decide is a decision you can stand behind.

Yes. Life after divorce brings its own decisions and adjustments, from co-parenting to rebuilding your routines and sense of direction. I help clients find their footing and move toward the future they want.

Yes. I help parents communicate with their co-parent in ways that keep the focus on their children, prepare for difficult conversations, and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting. I also know co-parenting from my personal experience as a parent.

Yes. I went through a high-conflict divorce and co-parenting relationship myself, and I grew up as the child of one. I help you stay steady, set clear boundaries, communicate in ways that keep the focus on your children, and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting. If you have concerns about your safety, I’ll help you connect with professionals who can address them.

Yes. All of my coaching sessions are virtual, so I work with clients in North Carolina, South Carolina, and across the United States. Because I don’t provide legal advice, the state where you live doesn’t limit how I can help.

Sessions take place by video and last 50 minutes. Each one starts with what’s most pressing for you — an upcoming conversation, a decision, or simply feeling stuck. We sort out what matters, look at your options, and prepare for what’s ahead. You leave with clear next steps.

We’ll schedule sessions at a pace that fits your situation, whether that’s weekly during an intense period or less often as things settle.

A single 50-minute session (Recenter) is $207, or $200 by ACH or Venmo. Packages lower the per-session rate: Clarify is three sessions for $588, or $570 by ACH or Venmo, and Build is five sessions for $928, or $900 by ACH or Venmo. Coaching isn’t covered by insurance.

The discovery call is free, so you can find out whether coaching is right for you before you commit. Request a discovery call.

I keep what you share confidential, with limited exceptions described in my client agreement. Coaching conversations aren't protected by attorney-client privilege, so I recommend talking with your attorney about anything you're concerned could become part of your legal case.

The discovery call is free and lasts 50 minutes. We’ll talk about where you are, what you’re facing, and what you want. You can ask how coaching works, and together we’ll decide whether working together is a good fit. There’s nothing to prepare, and there’s no pressure or obligation. To schedule, request a discovery call.
