Divorce may be common in modern times, but that doesn't lessen the impact. The grief that comes with divorce is often minimized—by others and sometimes even by ourselves.
Because it’s so common, people might assume you're “fine” once the paperwork is done. Or they may have no idea how to support you. But this kind of loss runs deep, and trying to process it alone can leave you feeling unseen and stuck.
Working with a divorce coach offers something different: a supportive, objective space with someone trained to guide you through both the emotional and practical challenges of this transition. You get real tools, compassionate perspective, and a path forward that’s grounded in your healing and growth.
What Does a Divorce Coach Do—and Do You Need One?
If you’re asking this question, you’re not alone.
Divorce impacts far more than your legal status. It can shake your identity, relationships, routines, and your sense of emotional safety. It’s one of life’s most challenging transitions—and often one of the most misunderstood.
Divorce coaching helps you tend to both the practical and emotional challenges of separation. While some divorce coaches focus on co-parenting, finances, or legal guidance, I take a more holistic approach.
My work blends mindfulness, practical support, and inner inquiry. Together, we address the emotional toll of the divorce process while exploring the patterns, beliefs, and needs that shape your relationship with yourself—and with others.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about walking with you as you regain your footing, build emotional clarity, and begin shaping a post-divorce life that’s grounded in who you are becoming.
What We Work On
Divorce grief coaching is often focused on four main areas:
- Coping with pain – Grief, confusion, and emotional overwhelm are normal. We make space for them without letting them take over.
- Adjusting to change – Whether you’re managing parenting plans, legal procedures, or daily logistics, we work together to create structure and reduce stress.
- Untangling old patterns – We explore how early experiences shaped your behavior and start to rewire the beliefs and habits that no longer serve you.
- Creating the life you want – You’ll clarify your values and begin building a meaningful future—with intention and self-trust.
A Divorce Coach Helps You Do More Than “Get Through It”
Surviving divorce is often the first goal: get through the paperwork, manage the logistics, try not to fall apart.
But there’s more available to you than just surviving.
As your coach, I help you feel what you need to feel—without judgment—and begin to understand what those feelings are telling you. We explore the hidden stressors, unmet needs, and emotional patterns beneath the surface so you can stop spinning and start grounding.
This work isn’t just about coping. It’s about recovering your sense of agency, rebuilding trust in yourself, and laying the foundation for a future that feels possible again.
What Makes Divorce Coaching Different?
You might already have a therapist, a divorce attorney, or a financial advisor—and that’s great. A divorce coach doesn’t replace those professionals.
We fill a different role.
Therapists often focus on past trauma or clinical diagnoses. Legal experts focus on the business of divorce: the law, the paperwork, the court dates. Coaching sits in the middle. We deal with the emotional aspects and practical realities of divorce—not from a legal or clinical lens, but from a deeply human one.
And here’s something else to consider: divorce coaching is usually more affordable than your lawyer’s hourly rate. So if you find yourself venting to your attorney, it might be time to shift those conversations to a space where they’re truly meant to be held—with someone trained to guide you through the emotional landscape of this process.
What You Can Expect from Divorce Grief Coaching
This is not just “talk about your feelings” work. It’s structured, thoughtful, and tailored to the complexities of divorce.
You can expect:
- Support in navigating the emotional aspects of divorce—especially anxiety, sadness, anger, and self-doubt
- Help creating a co-parenting plan, communicating with your family law attorney, or making a difficult decision
- Tools to manage the emotional toll of financial negotiations and parenting conflicts
- A judgment-free space to look at your habits, break cycles, and make informed decisions instead of reactive ones
- Techniques to regulate your nervous system, improve communication skills, and increase self-awareness
Whether you're in a collaborative divorce, working with a family mediator, or simply trying to manage the day-to-day emotional weight, divorce coaching is a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone.
Who Benefits From Divorce Coaching?
Divorce coaching is for people at all stages of the divorce journey—not just those in active crisis.

- You’re navigating the aftermath of divorce and don’t know where to begin
- You’re building a new life and want it to reflect who you really are
