Frequently Asked Questions

Think of me as your thinking partner and emotional strategist. I help you get organized before you meet with lawyers, game out your options when decisions feel overwhelming, and stay focused when triggered. I don't give legal advice—but I help you maximize every expensive minute you spend with those who do. Time spent with me makes time with lawyers and mediators more efficient.

Therapy helps you figure out how you got here, processing emotions and healing. It does the forensics. Divorce coaching helps you figure out where you’re going and the next steps to get you there. (We don’t talk about your mother.) We focus on the practical side: What questions should you ask your lawyer? How do you organize financial documents? What might "good enough" co-parenting look like? Many of my clients work with both a therapist and me—the approaches complement each other beautifully.

Absolutely. I've actually coached clients to think more about what they can do to stay in their marriage. My job isn't to promote divorce—it's to quiet the fear so you can think clearly. Whether you opt for reconciliation or confident separation, you'll make the choice with your eyes wide open rather than in a fog of uncertainty.

Less than your lawyer! I have two business models. We can meet in packages of six hour-long sessions for one fee. Or for a bit more, you can engage with an “all access” subscription, texting or calling or emailing at any time with questions or for support.

Privacy and trust are the currencies in which I trade. Everything we discuss is confidential. I understand the need for discretion, especially in close-knit communities. You can meet with me virtually from anywhere, and only you and I will know.

Not at all—I work with people of all backgrounds. That said, many of my Jewish clients appreciate that I understand the cultural context: the community dynamics, the flow of the holidays, the meaning behind lifecycle rituals of separation. Judaism has ancient wisdom about navigating transitions with intention, and I often weave that in where it's meaningful. But if that's not your background, or it doesn’t resonate, I’m here to meet you exactly where you are.

It's never too late. In fact, many clients come to me after they've started the legal process and realized they need more support, or a different kind of support, than their attorney can provide. I help you prepare for mediation sessions, debrief after difficult conversations, and think through offers and counteroffers. Even if you're mid-process, coaching can help you save time, money, and stress.

Two things: my wits and my track record. I spent 15 years producing television—managing chaos and turning messy situations into coherent stories. I bring that strategic thinking to every client. And I've been through it myself, which means I understand both the practical challenges and the 3 a.m. panic. Bottom line: I'm not here to cradle or coddle you. I'm here to steady the ground so you can walk across it yourself—and maybe even look back on this chapter with pride.
