Frequently Asked Questions
I am a divorce coach in New Mexico offering compassionate guidance for those working through relationship concerns, separation, divorce and other major life transitions. My coaching provides a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to work through your experiences, organize your thoughts, and develop practical action plans that will help you move forward with increased confidence, emotional stability, and purpose.
A divorce coach helps you to clarify what’s important to you, your values, what you want for the future and helps you clarify the decisions you need to make. Using intentional conversation and customized coaching, I help clients develop self-awareness, overcome limiting beliefs, develop resilience and forge a meaningful way forward towards the life they want to create. For more information on what coaching is and how it can help you on your journey, read my blog post, “What is a divorce coach?”
Therapy is a way for people to work through and recover from emotional experiences such as trauma, grief, divorce, and other life-altering events that can affect mental and emotional health for years to come. This is especially true if symptoms of anxiety, depression or long-term stress interfere with relationships, work or day-to-day responsibilities. “Working with a licensed therapist helps people explore their emotions, learn to regulate their emotions, and regain confidence and stability in their lives.
Coaching is about helping people build direction and momentum by evaluating the current situation, identifying priorities, clarifying goals and creating practical action plans. Coaching is about intentionality around growth, planning for the future and strategies to help align decisions with long term personal values and aspirations. Coaching is about progress through structure, accountability and focus on moving forward.
One of the major differences between therapy and coaching is the end goal of each process. Therapy addresses emotional pain and mental health, whereas coaching is about growth, organization, and goal achievement. If emotional issues are unresolved to the extent that they interfere with daily functioning, then therapy is the way to go; coaching is when people are ready to look ahead towards future goals and tangible progress.
It can work very well with therapy and coaching as a complementary process. Many people use therapy to help heal emotional wounds and coaching to help create clarity, organization and structured plans that help with intentional forward movement and growth.

I’ve spent years working with people through marriage, divorce, and major life transitions, and I have seen the value of coaching as an investment in personal growth, self-awareness, and confident decision-making. Coaching offers a structured, supportive environment for clients to work through their thoughts, gain clarity, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Coaching combines purposeful reflection with action-focused planning to enable people to make decisions that support their personal values, long-term priorities and the future they want to create.
Whether you’re preparing for marriage, experiencing a difficult phase in your relationship or moving through life during or after a divorce, coaching can help you understand your emotional patterns, communication styles and decision-making process more clearly. Together we will identify what is important to you, establish reachable goals and actionable steps that lead to meaningful progress with intention and build confidence and emotional resilience along the way.
Coaching helps clients to use their time, money and professional resources more effectively in emotionally demanding situations. While these are not legal matters, many people instinctively turn to their attorney for advice on emotional matters, relationship issues, and planning for the future. Attorneys are important to protect your legal rights, while coaching provides you with the emotional support and practical guidance to help you move through your life beyond the legal process.
If you depend solely on lawyers for non-legal issues, you could be spending money unnecessarily as lawyers usually charge by the hour. Coaching is a less expensive source of guidance that helps clients organize their thoughts, prepare for important decisions, manage emotions and recognize when they might benefit from additional professional guidance. The result is a more balanced approach to divorce and other big life changes. For a bit more perspective on the value of coaching for marriage or divorce, please check out this blog post!
