“First, get all your ducks all in a row.” When I knew I was going to ask my then husband for a divorce that’s what I was told to do. But I didn’t know how. I didn’t even know who the ducks were.  In addition to the legal issues that need to be addressed during separation and divorce, there are the practical aspects to be considered and the high psychological impact as well.   

I have experienced the challenges of going through a high conflict divorce.  In my divorce, I wanted someone to listen to me and help support me through all aspects of the process; from the practical to the emotional.   I needed recommendations and support for the legal aspects (including law enforcement), the financial aspect (a wealth advisor specializing in divorce, opening bank and credit card accounts),  and practical problems like getting bills, and utilities transferred to my name. I needed help with finding the right therapists and experts to help with parenting/custodial support. I was so lucky to discover I had friends, colleagues and acquaintances who could help me, but it took a significant amount of time to find them all. What I really wished was that I had someone to help guide and support me as I navigated through the process and help connect me with the resources I knew (and didn’t know) I needed.

I had a birth doula to support and educate me through my pregnancies and deliveries, but I needed the same with my divorce; a divorce doula. I want to be that person for you. From the practical to the emotional I am here with the resources and knowledge to support you through your divorce. It’s hard but you are NOT alone. .
