Common Questions

No. Motion to Rise™ coaching draws on my clinical background and lived experience, but it is not psychotherapy or a therapeutic relationship. If you need treatment or crisis care, please work with a licensed clinician or local emergency support.

You can still work with me. Hostile messages, parenting conflict, and repeated legal demands can continue after a divorce is final. Individual coaching may be a fit. If you are considering Year One™, send a short note and we can discuss whether the program fits your situation.

You do not need an official label. If contact after separation involves repeated intimidation, shifting accusations, or attempts to pull you into conflict through parenting or court, we can talk about the behavior you are dealing with and whether coaching fits.

I can help you prepare for custody-related conversations with counsel by organizing child-focused facts, dates, and questions. I do not provide custody evaluations, legal advice, or promises about how a court will view your case.

Year One™ is group coaching and psychoeducation. I bring clinical training and lived experience, but the program does not provide mental health treatment or create a therapist-client relationship. We work on recognizing patterns, responding to messages, organizing information, and preparing questions for counsel.

No. Year One™ is designed for virtual participation, so you do not need to live near Wayzata. We can also discuss individual coaching if that is a better fit.

Send a short note about the kind of support you are considering. We can talk about whether coaching, Year One™, or another resource fits without asking you to share private case details in the first message.

Yes, when it is appropriate and everyone agrees on the scope. With your permission, I can coordinate with counsel about the nonlegal work we are doing, such as organizing information or preparing questions. Your attorney remains responsible for legal advice and strategy. We would discuss consent and confidentiality before sharing information.

Year One™ is built for that concern. Billing appears under a neutral descriptor, group discussion is never recorded, there is no member directory, and you never share names or case files. You decide who knows you're here.

The founding cohort begins Spring 2027. Founding pricing and payment options are shared on the discovery call so we can talk about fit at the same time.

Women who want ongoing support can continue in the Motion to Rise™ Community, a smaller monthly space to keep using RISE as your case moves forward.
