Frequently Asked Questions
As a coach, I provide a safe, unbiased, and non-judgmental environment to explore your marriage, divorce, or life journey. We identify what is working well and what challenges may be limiting progress, while gaining clarity on what matters most to you and how you ideally want your life to feel. I guide you to think creatively and consider solutions that enable meaningful progress with confidence and clarity.
In coaching, clients and coaches collaborate to define the goals they wish to pursue in marriage, divorce, or life in general. Once goals are set, we design actionable plans to achieve them effectively. I ask thoughtful and empowering questions that help you uncover who you really are, what you want most, why your goals are meaningful, and what obstacles may be standing in your way.

Therapy is focused on helping you heal from and recover from past traumas, experiences, and challenges so that you can function more effectively in the present. This includes addressing conditions such as depression, anxiety, or other diagnoses that may impair your ability to manage your daily life, care for yourself, maintain employment, or engage successfully with others. Therapy provides structured support to help restore emotional and functional balance.
Coaching, by contrast, focuses on your current reality and your future aspirations. It involves evaluating what is working well in your life and what is not, envisioning a future aligned with your deepest values and goals, and creating strategies that move you toward that ideal vision. Coaching encourages practical steps and actionable solutions that allow you to advance with clarity, confidence, and intention.
An easy way to understand 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 prevents you from functioning at a healthy baseline. A trainer, however, works with people who are already functioning at a healthy level but wish to enhance or optimize their performance or future potential.
Neither profession is superior to the other. Many clients benefit from working with both a therapist and a coach, as therapy helps process and heal from the past while coaching provides guidance on actionable steps to shape a desired future.

Drawing from my years of personal and professional experience, it is clear that investing in support during marriage, divorce, and significant life transitions can be a game-changer for your future success, whatever that success may look like for you. Whether you are preparing to wed, experiencing difficulties in your marriage, or navigating a divorce, coaching helps you understand how you are showing up, both personally and in your relationships. It also allows you to gain clarity on your desired future and identify the most practical steps to achieve it.
Coaching can also help reduce both time and financial costs by focusing your efforts on what truly moves you toward your goals. Many people believe they should rely solely on their lawyer when going through a divorce. However, this often results in higher expenses and longer timelines because attorneys provide legal advice but are not trained to offer guidance on personal goals, relationships, emotions, or financial considerations, and their hourly rates are typically higher than coaching services.
Working with a coach allows you to address the non-legal aspects of your life efficiently. A coach can help you manage emotional, relational, and financial challenges while also connecting you with other professionals who specialize in those areas. This ensures you receive the most effective and focused support, enabling you to navigate life transitions with clarity, confidence, and strategy.
