FAQs

Q: What is a certified divorce coach, how can they help me?

A Certified Divorce Coach is a professional who supports, motivates, educates, and guides individuals through the divorce process. Working with a Certified Divorce Coach is a goal-oriented experience designed to help you make informed and confident decisions for yourself and your family.

As your coach, I provide structure and practical tools for decision-making when things feel overwhelming, helping you stay focused on what truly matters. Together, we’ll navigate the emotional and practical challenges of divorce so you can move forward with strength and confidence.

Q: How is divorce coaching different from therapy?
Therapy focuses on healing from the past, processing emotions, and addressing mental health concerns. Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions.

Divorce coaching, on the other hand, is a goal-oriented and future-focused process. As a Certified Divorce Coach, I do not diagnose or treat mental health issues. Instead, I help you gain clarity, structure, and practical tools to make confident decisions and move forward. Coaching provides guidance and support to help you navigate the emotional and practical aspects of divorce so you can take positive steps toward your next chapter.

Q: Will a Divorce Coach give legal advice? Are they my lawyer too?

While I am a family law attorney, when I work with you as your Divorce Coach, I am not acting as your lawyer and cannot give legal advice or represent you in court.

As your Divorce Coach, I use my background and knowledge of family law to help you understand the process, prepare for conversations with your attorney, and make informed decisions. My role is to provide education, structure, and emotional support.

Q: When should I hire a Certified Divorce Coach?

You can work with a Certified Divorce Coach at any stage of the divorce process. Many people find it especially helpful to begin coaching early, even before filing, to get clarity on their options and prepare emotionally and practically for what’s ahead.

During the divorce, coaching helps you stay organized, communicate more effectively, and make decisions with confidence. After the divorce, coaching provides support as you rebuild, redefine your goals, and create a fulfilling next chapter.

No matter where you are in the process, divorce coaching offers structure, perspective, and guidance to help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
