Our sessions will be confidential and . . .

  • Personalized

    Every divorce is different. Our work together focuses on understanding your specific situation, priorities, and concerns. From there, we create a clear, personalized plan to help you feel confident moving forward.

  • Supportive

    Divorce can bring uncertainty, stress, and difficult decisions. I help you identify where you feel stuck - whether it’s paperwork, communication, or preparing for legal meetings - and provide step-by-step support when you need it.

  • Practical

    Divorce is both a life changing and deeply personal transition. I combine my legal background with an honest, steady approach to help you stay organized, prepared, supported, and grounded.

  • This package is designed for clients who need a place to talk things through with someone who understands the divorce process but isn’t an attorney, therapist, or personally involved in the dynamic.

    While therapists focus on emotional healing and attorneys focus on legal strategy, this support helps you navigate the space in between where many people feel overwhelmed. I provide a private, confidential space to process decisions without feeling judged, diagnosed, or pressured. You can speak freely without worrying about burdening family and friends or receiving biased advice.

    We can have as many sessions as frequently as you choose. I have availability after normal business hours for your convenience.

    Includes:

    • Help separating emotional reactions from practical next steps.

    • Support to stay grounded when things feel overwhelming.

    • Accountability to follow through on the decisions you’ve been avoiding.

    • A steady, neutral presence during a time that can feel chaotic and isolating.

    Investment: $125 for 60-minute virtual session.

  • We can work together on an as-needed basis with services tailored to your goals, timeline, and level of support.

    Investment: pricing varies on a case-by-case basis.

Frequently asked questions

  • Divorce coaching is a supportive, practical service designed to help you navigate the process of divorce with greater clarity and confidence. I work with you to manage the stress, organize your thoughts and information, and approach decisions in a more grounded and intentional way.

    Divorce can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

    • I am not an attorney and do not provide legal advice.

    • I am not a therapist and do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

    Instead, I help you stay organized and prepared for each step of the process. If you decide to hire an attorney, I will make sure that you are more knowledgeable about the legal process and more confident retaining the best representation for your case.

  • I understand that discussing divorce often involves sharing sensitive and personal information. I value your privacy and will take all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the information you share with Maine Divorce Coaching & Legal Support Services. Information provided during the course of our work together will be used solely for the purpose of providing the coaching and support services you have requested. Except as required by law, court order, or as necessary to prevent imminent harm to you or others, I will not voluntarily disclose that you are a client of Maine Divorce Coaching & Legal Support Services, nor will I voluntarily share information obtained through our work together with third parties without your permission.

    Please note that because I am not an attorney and do not provide legal representation, our communications are not protected by attorney-client privilege. If you wish to discuss matters that should remain privileged, you should consult with a licensed attorney.

  • You can work with a divorce coach at any stage. Many clients find it most helpful:

    • At the beginning of the divorce process, when everything feels uncertain or overwhelming.

    • During mediation or negotiations.

    • When communication becomes difficult or emotional.

    • At any stage of the proceedings when you need steady support from someone who understands why you’re feeling the way you’re feeling.

  • By helping you stay focused, organized, and prepared, I can reduce the time you need to spend with more expensive professionals like attorneys. Without giving you legal advice, I can identify the paperwork that must be filed initially with the court and help you gather documents that will be needed before the process is finalized. If you decide to hire an attorney, you will be better equipped for meetings, clearer on your goals, and more efficient in moving your case forward.

  • I work with only one spouse, focusing on specific needs, goals, and circumstances. My role is to support you directly and advocate for you to positively impact the overall process.
