My Story:

I never expected to be doing this kind of work. I spent 15 years as a chemist, leading quality assurance programs for herbal medicine and dietary supplement companies. But like many people, I hit a wall—burned out, let go without warning, and left to rebuild a life that no longer made sense. In the years that followed, I did the hard work of putting myself back together—through therapy, yoga, men’s groups, and deep emotional introspection. That healing journey brought me home to something I’d never been taught to value: the inner world of human emotion, relationship, and resilience.

What I discovered along the way was a real passion—and growing skill—for helping people navigate emotionally charged situations with more calm, clarity, and compassion. I found that I could sit with people in moments of deep uncertainty and help them find a way forward that felt steady and true. That’s what led me to divorce coaching. Many of my clients arrive in crisis—overwhelmed, hurting, unsure what to do next—but they know something has to change. And I’ve found tremendous fulfillment in helping them move from survival mode to something more stable, grounded, and intentional.

Interestingly, my background in quality systems turns out to be an unexpected asset here. For over a decade, my job was to design processes that deliver consistent, reliable results. Divorce, on the other hand, often delivers confusion, conflict, and regret—because people go through it in a state of emotional chaos, without a clear destination. The work I do now is about reversing that pattern: helping clients get clear on what they want, why they’re doing this, and how to build the right team to get them there. It’s still about systems and outcomes—but now, the outcomes are personal, lasting, and deeply human.
