Empowering Individuals Through Divorce Challenges and Beyond

High Conflict Divorce Coach
At Divorce Differently, my mission and calling is to help others navigate extreme divorce matters through awareness, self-reflection, information, and strategic partnership. By partnering with my clients and empowering them to navigate their divorce with purpose and knowledge, they will build the toolkit and resilience needed to achieve the best of outcomes for their family and their life going forward. Many times the battle (post separation abuse) really begins once the divorce is final. By understanding the reality of the family court landscape, the players, and the steps and team needed to face these battles, learning the importance of communication and presentation, and alternative dispute resolution, clients gain the best possible outcomes pre and post-divorce.

I specialize particularily in high conflict, coercive control, high-net worth, and expat divorce with a particular focus on issues involving children. My aim is to guide you through the process, helping you to be able to make key decisions and prepare you for your future life. I work across the entire divorce spectrum and post-divorce transformation, from strategic planning, dealing with emotional abuse to setting boundaries with toxic people. I will partner with you while you are on your divorce journey. I am a CDC Certified Divorce Coach & a CDC Certified Divorce Transition and Recovery Coach, a High Conflict Certified Divorce Coach, and a Pre-Mediation Divorce Coach.
