Welcome- I’m so glad you’re here.

If you are navigating the disorientation of a midlife transition like divorce, then I want to you to know that you are not alone. We often spend so much time caring for and thinking about what is best for others, that when we reach a transition, such as divorce and we see that many of the roles and expectations from the past decades no longer fit who we are becoming.

My own journey started when I went through a series of transitions in my 40’s and 50’s. While going through my divorce, I was just trying to survive. I didn’t think about what came next until after the divorce was final. Afterwards, I was moving along changing jobs, trying to date, and raise my children, but somehow I just didn’t feel like my life was really me. When I became the primary caregiver for both of my parents, after my fathers stroke and my mothers Alzheimer’s diagnosis, life got very complicated and I had no time for myself.

While caring for both of them, I was navigating my children graduating and leaving the nest. I was also experiencing a series of career transitions including changing jobs, lay offs, some time unemployed, and even being fired from a job I didn’t really enjoy.

When both of my parents passed away, all the weight of those responsibilities was lifted, but I didn’t feel relieved, I just felt lost. I realized that I had spent so much of my life caring for others, that I didn’t know who I was anymore, let alone with I wanted for my next chapter.

I took a year sabbatical to find me! It was just what I needed. During this year, I felt called to help and guide others through some of the same feelings and transitions that I had been through. I combine my background as a social worker and my training as a Master Certified Life Coach to help women navigate their own midlife divorce transitions. I love helping my clients as they rediscover who they were always meant to be and whatever comes next .
