Because you are ready to do things differently this time
Divorce isn’t just a legal process—it’s an emotional and psychological upheaval. These coaching sessions give you practical guidance and emotional support so you can make confident, informed decisions about your future.
What you’re feeling right now isn’t just a reaction to the end of a relationship—it’s a grief response. One that deserves attention, compassion, and space to unfold at your own pace.
Just like grief after a death, grief after divorce or separation impacts each person differently. You might be feeling everything all at once—or nothing at all. That’s normal.
How you experience this depends on so many things: your history with loss, your attachment style, your coping skills, and how much support you have right now. The circumstances of the breakup—whether it was mutual, sudden, or filled with conflict—can shape the intensity and duration of the pain. This is a deeply personal experience, and there’s no single “right” way to go through it.
You deserve support that understands the emotional complexity of this kind of loss, and will empower you with lasting change.
It’s time to give your past-self the understanding she needed, and your future self the foundation she deserves.
Divorce ruptures more than your relationship. It affects your nervous system, confidence, and daily life. Divorce coaching helps you navigate the emotional toll and practical decisions that come with the divorce process, whether you’re at the beginning or long past the legal paperwork.
It also brings old patterns to the surface. Breakups often expose how you connect, cope, and protect yourself. As a certified Attachment Theory Coach, I’ll give you the tools to rebuild trust from within—so you don’t repeat the past, and you don’t lose yourself again.

Divorce Coaching from the Author of Navigating Loss
“The types of losses I experienced—divorce, parental estrangement, identity, financial hardship, my home, stability, childhood innocence, betrayal, and the dream I had for how my life would unfold—are so common that they are often invisible not only to others, but to ourselves. Ubiquity, however, does not make any of these losses less painful.”
- Heather Stang in the Navigating Loss Prologue
Not all divorce coaches will give you lasting change
I don’t believe in quick fixes, outdated theories like stages of divorce grief, or in all-too-friendly coaching that’s all talk and no action. But I do believe real change is possible when you have practical tools, clear direction, and compassionate support.
The tools I offer aren’t just theory—I’ve lived them. I literally wrote the book on how to navigate divorce and other disenfranchised losses as a form of grief. What I share with my divorce coaching clients comes directly from what helped me survive—and grow through—my own experience of heartbreak, betrayal, and rebuilding.
This isn’t about surface-level support. It’s about using proven practices to move through the emotional aspects of divorce with clarity, compassion, and resilience. We’ll go beyond venting. You’ll use daily-life practices—like guided meditations, reflective worksheets, and journaling prompts—to manage intense emotions, rebuild self-trust, and navigate the divorce process with clarity.
This is more than coping. It’s relearning self-respect, self-awareness, and emotional strength.
Whether online or in-person in Frederick, MD, these coaching sessions offer a collaborative process to help you make smart decisions, communicate effectively with your divorce lawyer or co-parent, and begin a new chapter with confidence.
You will learn how to:
Cope with and learn from difficult emotions
Learn to tend to your emotions without being overwhelmed by them. Together, we’ll use mindfulness and breath-based tools to calm your nervous system and reduce anxiety, rumination, and sleeplessness.
Adjust to the myriad of internal and external changes
From shared parenting to solo holidays, I’ll help you explore how to meet your needs with resilience and clarity. This includes rewriting roles, building new routines, and dealing with unexpected waves of grief.
Repair your unconscious relationship to love with attachment style reprogramming
You will explore how early experiences shaped your attachment style and reprogram the beliefs and habits that no longer serve you through guided visualizations and reframing inquiry. This is where deep healing begins.
Design and live the life you want to call your own
This is your time to reconnect with your values, strengthen your self-trust, and envision the life you want to build. I’ll help you move from people-pleasing or avoidance into secure self-connection—without toxic positivity or shame.

A Holistic Approach To Navigating Life After Divorce
This work isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level support. It’s about offering a safe, grounded space where you can show up as you are—especially during life’s most challenging times.
Divorce grief is real. And it runs deep. You may be mourning the relationship, the future you imagined, your role in a family, or even your belief in love itself. These emotional aspects of divorce are often minimized or misunderstood, even though they affect every part of your well-being.
As a grief coach with more than 15 years of professional experience, I specialize in helping people move through the overlooked aspects of divorce with clarity and compassion. I hold a master’s degree in Thanatology—the study of death, dying, and bereavement—and I’ve supported hundreds of clients through both death and non-death losses. In 2025, I received the Clinical Practice Award from the Association for Death Education and Counseling for my work in the field.
I'm also a certified Integrated Attachment Theory Relationship Coach and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy practitioner. These approaches help you reconnect with your body, rebuild trust, and shift patterns that keep you stuck.
My approach blends mindfulness, movement, journaling, and guided self-inquiry to help you manage difficult emotions, explore core issues, and take empowered steps forward in your post-divorce life.
And I’ve been through it, too. I know the pain of betrayal and the disorientation that comes with sudden change. I’ve done this work personally—and I’ll hold space for you with empathy, insight, and respect.
Schedule some time with me today. Whether you are ready for a full grief coaching session, or book a discovery call to see if we are a good fit, I am looking forward to helping you move forward.
