Divorce Support That Understands Central Illinois

- Local perspective combined with professional divorce coaching training.
- A private environment to organize priorities before difficult conversations.

Divorce Coaching in Morton, Illinois

If you are considering divorce, preparing to file or already moving through the process, coaching can help you slow things down enough to identify your priorities. Together, you can prepare questions for your attorney, organize financial and parenting concerns and determine which issues actually need your attention now.
The goal is not to make decisions for you. It is to help you approach those decisions with more preparation, perspective and confidence.

Read why Katie became a divorce coach →What Does a Divorce Coach Actually Help With?
Your attorney handles legal advice, legal strategy and representation. Divorce coaching serves a different purpose.
Katie helps you prepare for the decisions, conversations and practical challenges surrounding the legal process so that you can participate in your divorce more intentionally.
A Divorce Coach Who Has Been Through Divorce Herself
Katie became a CDC Certified Divorce Coach® because she understands firsthand how disorienting divorce can be. During her own divorce, she had attorneys, friends and family around her, but she did not have an objective person helping her step back, identify blind spots and think through the decisions in front of her.
Today, she provides clients with the kind of preparation and perspective she wishes she had during that experience. Her approach combines professional divorce coaching training with the perspective of someone who has personally moved through divorce and rebuilt life afterward.
