Divorce Coach & Relationship Coach in Los Angeles

As a coach, I provide an objective, non-judgmental space where you can explore your marriage, divorce, or life circumstances. Together, we examine what is currently working well and what areas may be creating obstacles or challenges. I help you gain clarity on what is truly important to you and how you envision your life ideally functioning, feeling, and evolving. We also explore creative approaches to problem-solving so that you can move forward with confidence, insight, and a sense of empowerment.

Coaches partner with clients to define meaningful and specific goals related to marriage, divorce, or personal life growth. Once we identify these objectives, we work together to develop practical and actionable steps designed to bring those goals to life. During this process, I ask insightful questions that encourage self-reflection and help you uncover who you truly are, what you truly desire, why your goals hold significance, and what internal or external factors may be limiting your progress toward achieving the life you want.

The focus of therapy is centered on healing and recovering from events, experiences, and trauma that may have occurred in your past. This process helps you regain balance and function more effectively in the present. For example, if depression, anxiety, or another diagnosis is affecting your ability to care for yourself, maintain employment, or engage meaningfully with others, therapy provides tools and support to address these challenges and regain stability.

Coaching, by contrast, requires you to acknowledge your current situation, identifying what aspects of your life are working well and which areas are not functioning as effectively as you would like. It encourages you to envision a future that is more closely aligned with your inner desires, values, and personal goals. From there, we work together to design a strategic plan that guides you toward your ideal next chapter, allowing for tangible steps toward growth and improvement.

A helpful analogy to illustrate the difference between therapy and coaching is to compare a doctor with a physical trainer. You would see a doctor if an injury, illness, or other health condition from the past or present is preventing you from functioning at a healthy baseline in your life. Conversely, if you are already functioning on a healthy baseline but desire to enhance or optimize your future—for instance, improving physical fitness, refining nutrition, or preparing for a competition—you would seek guidance from a trainer.

Neither profession is inherently better than the other; they simply focus on distinct aspects of your life. In fact, many of my coaching clients also work with therapists, because it is valuable to both process and heal from past experiences while simultaneously creating actionable plans that support moving into the future with purpose and intention.

Based on my years of personal and professional experience, when it comes to marriage, divorce, and major life transitions, investing in support for yourself can be incredibly valuable and often essential to achieving future success, whatever that success looks like for you personally. Whether you are preparing to get married, encountering difficulties in your marriage, or navigating a divorce, coaching helps you gain insight into how you are currently showing up, both as an individual and in relation to your partner or ex. It also allows you to clarify what you truly want your life to look like and provides guidance on how to take the most effective path toward your ideal future.

Coaching can save you both time and money by helping you focus on what will most directly move you toward your goals. For example, many individuals going through divorce assume that relying solely on their lawyer is sufficient. In reality, this often results in higher costs and longer timelines because a lawyer is trained to provide legal guidance, not advice about your goals, fears, relationships, finances, and other non-legal matters, and the hourly rate of a lawyer is generally much higher than that of a coach.

By choosing coaching, you not only save on costs, but you also receive targeted guidance for the non-legal challenges you are facing. A coach can help you navigate emotional, relational, and financial aspects of your situation, or quickly connect you with other trusted professionals who specialize in those specific areas. This ensures you receive the most effective and efficient support possible, allowing you to make progress in all areas of your life impacted by marriage, divorce, or other major transitions.
