Frequently Asked Questions
As a coach, I serve as a neutral, supportive sounding board to help you analyze the current state of your marriage, divorce, or life path. We identify what is functioning well and what may be holding you back, and then clarify your values, priorities, and vision for the future. Together, we explore new strategies and perspectives to uncover solutions that allow you to move forward with clarity, confidence, and intentionality.
In the coaching process, we focus on defining specific goals you want to achieve within your marriage, divorce journey, or personal life. After these goals are articulated, we co-create structured action plans designed to help you reach them step by step. I guide you through reflective questions to deepen your self-awareness, helping you explore who you are at your core, what you genuinely want, why these objectives matter to you, and what obstacles or patterns may be keeping you from attaining your desired outcomes.

Therapy is primarily focused on helping you heal and recover from past experiences, traumas, and challenges so that you can function more effectively in the present moment. If past events, depression, anxiety, or other diagnoses are interfering with your ability to maintain relationships, perform in your career, or take care of yourself, therapy provides the necessary support and strategies to restore stability and well-being.
In contrast, coaching emphasizes examining your present circumstances. It requires you to evaluate what is working well in your life and what is not, and to envision a future that aligns with your deepest goals, desires, and values. Coaching then provides a framework for developing a strategy and action plan to move you toward that ideal future, allowing you to take practical steps that create measurable progress in your life.
One analogy that clearly illustrates the difference between therapy and coaching is to compare the roles of a doctor and a physical trainer. A doctor is consulted when an injury, illness, or condition from the past or present prevents you from functioning at a healthy baseline. A trainer, on the other hand, works with you when you are already functioning well but want to optimize your future in some area, such as improving physical fitness, enhancing nutrition, or preparing for a challenge or competition.
Neither approach is superior; they simply serve different purposes. Many clients benefit from both, as therapy helps them process past experiences while coaching provides guidance on creating and implementing action plans to move forward with confidence and clarity in life.

Drawing from my extensive personal and professional experience, I can confidently say that when navigating marriage, divorce, or other significant life changes, investing in support for yourself is highly worthwhile and can be crucial for future success, in whatever form that takes for you. Whether you are engaged and preparing to marry, experiencing challenges in your marriage, or in the midst of a divorce, coaching can provide you with insight into how you are showing up in your relationships, clarify your goals, and help you identify the most effective steps to reach your ideal future.
Coaching is also an excellent way to save time and reduce costs by focusing your energy on the actions that will bring the greatest results. Many people facing divorce rely almost exclusively on their attorney, but this approach often leads to unnecessary expenses and delays. Lawyers are trained to provide legal advice, not guidance regarding personal goals, relationships, finances, or other non-legal matters, and their hourly rates are typically much higher than a coach’s, making this approach less efficient.
By working with a coach, you gain expert support for the non-legal dimensions of your life that are affected by divorce or other transitions. A coach can help you navigate emotional, relational, or financial challenges and can also refer you to trusted specialists for areas outside their scope. This approach ensures you receive the most targeted, cost-effective, and actionable support possible to achieve the results you are seeking.
