What’s a Doula?

And why do I need one?

Hello Friend. I’m sorry we’re meeting under these circumstances, but I’m so glad you’re here, seeking the guidance I wish I’d had. If you, like so many of us, have found yourself facing the end of your marriage, then let me first say: “I’m sorry; this is hard. You can do this and you’re not alone.” ❤️‍🩹

Take my hand, and with it, the wealth of knowledge I gained by trudging through a very high conflict divorce for 5 years, Let my extensive experience with the divorce process help guide you. Together, we’ll make sure to sidestep mistakes and avoid pitfalls that can wreak havoc on an already very difficult situation, while creating a plan of action that suits your needs.

let’s talk details

what can you expect from me?

🤝 100% Complete Confidentiality:
Divorce is highly sensitive, especially when children are involved and nobody is more familiar with the importance of this than me.

🤝 Communications Expertise:
This is my specialty, friend. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen, but so often communication between a divorcing couple tends deteriorate, even if only temporarily. Tempers flare, tensions rise and saying the wrong thing or saying it in the wrong way can add so much unnecessary fuel to the fire. I’m here to help make sure you’re doing your part to avoid that.

🤝 Co-Parenting 101:
If there are children involved, then this could be the very most important piece of your puzzle while also quite possibly being the hardest. I’ve been in the trenches for going on 7 years now, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. I can help.

🤝 Objective, Unbiased Guidance:
If you’re looking for someone to agree with you no matter what and gossip about your ex, I may not be a good fit for you. While I love being a hype girl and will always be on your side, my promise to you is that I will also be honest and that might be difficult for you at times. But my job is to give you the best advice I can, no matter what.

🤝 A Sounding Board:
Yes, my friend… Trust me. As much as my mom was an absolute Godsend for me during my divorce, what she couldn’t offer me was guidance or advice that wasn’t tinged with her own emotional involvement. I can give you that, and believe me… you do need it. Your ex has not hurt my feelings and that makes me uniquely qualified to help you in ways that other people in your life most likely cannot.

🤝 An Action Plan:
We’ll discuss where you want to land, how to get you there, and the do’s and don’ts for along the way.

🤝 An Overview of the Divorce Process:
This will help you understand what steps to take in what order, and prepare you for what to expect if you land in court.

🤝 Resources, Resources, Resources:
Whatever it is that your unique situation calls for, whether it’s hiring a lawyer, finding a mediator, selecting a therapist, or needing a licensed supervisor to facilitate visits, I’ll be there to help you find the resources you need to move forward.
