Frequently Asked Questions
As a coach, I act as a neutral and objective partner, offering a judgment-free space to evaluate your marriage, divorce, or personal life. Together, we explore what is effective, identify areas needing improvement, and gain clarity on your priorities and the way you ideally want your life to look and feel. I help you think creatively about solutions to ensure steady progress with confidence and purpose.
Coaches and clients work together to define the goals they want to achieve, whether in marriage, divorce, or life broadly. Once the goals are clearly articulated, we build actionable plans to help realize them. I ask reflective questions that encourage self-discovery, helping you explore who you truly are, what you want most, why your goals matter, and what blocks are keeping you from moving forward.

The primary goal of therapy is to provide support and guidance for healing and recovering from past experiences, trauma, and difficult life events so that you can operate more effectively in your present circumstances. If depression, anxiety, or another diagnosis is affecting your ability to care for yourself, maintain a career, or maintain healthy relationships, therapy gives you the tools and support to process these challenges and restore balance to your life.
Coaching, on the other hand, emphasizes awareness of your current situation and the creation of a future that aligns with your authentic desires. It encourages reflection on what aspects of your life are working well, what areas require improvement, and what steps are necessary to move toward your ideal next chapter. Coaching helps you develop a practical and actionable plan to make progress toward meaningful goals.
A useful analogy for understanding the difference between therapy and coaching is to think of a doctor and a physical trainer. A doctor helps when past or present health issues are preventing you from functioning at a healthy baseline, while a trainer works with individuals who are already functioning at a healthy level but want to optimize performance, physical health, or future achievements.
One approach is not inherently better than the other. In fact, many of my coaching clients also see therapists, as processing the past while building a plan for the future provides the most balanced and effective approach to personal growth.

From my years of personal and professional experience, I have learned that investing in support for yourself during marriage, divorce, or major life transitions is one of the most impactful decisions you can make. Whether you are preparing to get married, experiencing challenges in your marriage, or moving through a divorce, coaching provides clarity on how you are showing up both individually and in relation to your partner or ex. It also helps you define your vision for your life and guides you in taking deliberate steps toward achieving it.
Coaching also helps save significant time and money by keeping your focus on what will produce real results. Many individuals going through divorce assume that their lawyer can handle all aspects of their situation. In reality, this approach often leads to higher costs and inefficiency because lawyers are trained to provide legal guidance, not advice about personal goals, relationships, emotions, or finances, and their hourly rates are generally much higher than those of a coach.
By engaging a coach, you receive support specifically designed for the non-legal aspects of your life. Coaching can address emotional, relational, and financial challenges while also guiding you to other professionals who specialize in the areas impacting your life during divorce. This ensures that your support is both comprehensive and efficient, allowing you to move forward strategically and with confidence.
