When Forever Becomes "Maybe Not So Much"
Maybe you’re here because your relationship is in trouble. I’m sorry for that. Whether you’ve gotten the “speech” where you’re told, “I love you but I’m not in love with you,” or whether you’ve just had enough and want out. Deciding whether or not to divorce is not an easy place to be.
Maybe you’re here because you’ve been cheated on or maybe you’re here because you want out before you cheat. I’m not here to judge. I’m here to help you find the best solution for you and those you care about.
More than 50% of first marriages end in divorce and 60% of second marriages. The truth is, sometimes marriages end. And with those endings come decisions. Where will I live? Can I support myself? How do I handle losing my in-laws? How will my kids react?
And then maybe you’re here because you need to work on relationship skills so you don’t end up in divorce court.
As a divorce coach I work with people at all stages of the process to overcome overwhelm, turn anger to action, and change chaos to calm.
I come from a mental health counseling background, bringing forward my expertise in infidelity, addiction, communication, co-parenting, and relationships. I have a straightforward approach that emphasizes my ability to help you pinpoint your problem areas and then go about finding resolutions.
There are parts of the legal process where you can save money, time, and heartache hours by using a coach and I’m happy to walk beside you.
The journey you follow when working with me is hopefully one that will last a lifetime. You will be able to gain insights, change thoughts and behaviors, make new choices, and take better control of your life.
