You're not alone.

Divorce is a deep, personal journey that requires support, guidance, and understanding.

From the initial stages of considering divorce to navigating a high-conflict process and the recovery afterward, my services will make you feel heard, confident, and ready for new beginnings. If you've been looking for a certified divorce coach near you in the Twin Cities, this is where we start.

Let's Talk

What divorce coaching includes

  • · Pre-divorce coaching — deciding, planning, and preparing before you file.
  • · High-conflict divorce coaching — boundaries, scripts, and documentation.
  • · Family & co-parenting coaching — schedules, handoffs, and steady communication.
  • · Divorce recovery coaching — rebuilding identity, routines, and finances after the decree.

Sessions are one-on-one, in person in the Twin Cities or virtually nationwide. Coaching is not legal advice or therapy — it works alongside your attorney and therapist.

Divorce coaching services: common questions

What does a divorce coaching session look like?
Each session is a focused one-on-one conversation, usually an hour. We start with what feels most pressing, work through the decision or conversation in front of you, and end with two or three concrete next steps. Sessions happen in person in the Twin Cities or by video anywhere in the country.
Do I need an attorney if I work with a divorce coach?
Yes. Coaching is not legal advice. My role is to help you arrive at attorney meetings organized and clear, so your legal time is spent on legal strategy rather than sorting out documents and emotions.
Can coaching help if my divorce is already final?
Absolutely. Divorce recovery coaching and co-parenting coaching are for the season after the decree — rebuilding routines, resetting finances, and creating a co-parenting rhythm that holds up under stress.
How do I know which service I need?
You don't have to know. We start with a free, confidential conversation about where you are, and I'll tell you honestly whether coaching fits and which starting point makes sense.
