DIVORCE COACHING FOR DIFFICULT MARRIAGES
Most divorce support wasn't built for your marriage.
This one is.
For women navigating the specific complexity of leaving a difficult, unequal, or controlling marriage — with clarity, strategy, and someone who already understands the terrain.
HOW WE WORK
There was always a gap between what happened behind closed doors and what everyone else saw.
You spent years living that distance. What was presented to the outside world — involved, caring, supportive — versus what you and your kids actually experienced. Subtle. Maybe loud. Or persistently absent.
You were eviscerated by your marriage. You don't want to be eviscerated by your divorce. Now, you just want peace — for you, for your kids — and some help getting there.

WHO WE WORK WITH
Artemis is built for the marriages most support skips over:
Something feels off or wrong, even if you haven't named it yet
Finances are opaque, inaccessible or used as leverage
Your needs have been met with conflict, dismissal, or silence
You've been carrying the children, household, and emotional weight mostly solo
Your partner controls, underfunctions, or diminishes
You know you need to leave— you need a plan, not permission
While our clients are overwhelmingly women, we also work with men who find themselves in a similar dynamic.
WE ADDRESS ALL OF IT
Divorce touches everything. So does our work.
Clarity
We help you separate what's urgent from what's loud. Most of what feels critical in the first weeks isn't — and most of what's quietly critical gets missed.
Strategy
A plan calibrated to the marriage you're actually leaving. Not generic divorce advice; coaching that starts with what you're dealing with and builds from there.
Stability
Housing, finances, income, independence. We help you understand what you have and build a foundation that holds.
Parenting
Your children are watching how you do this. We help you protect their stability without losing your own.
Identity
You've been shaped by this marriage in ways you're still discovering. We work toward who you're becoming, not just what you're leaving.
The Long View
The legal process ends. The rest of your life doesn't. We hold the horizon when you can't — and keep building toward it throughout.
HOW WE DO IT
1
Map the terrain
Financial, legal, emotional, logistical. What you actually have, what's at stake, what you need.
2
Build the plan
A strategy calibrated to your specific marriage and anchored in what's most important to you. The team you'll need, the order of operations, the risks to get ahead of.
3
Walk it together
Support through the months and motions. The long view when you can't hold it. This week's three things when that's all that fits. Breadth for everything related to divorce, from dating to decree.
THE ARTEMIS TOUCH
I built Artemis for the coaching I wish I'd had.
I went through my own difficult marriage and divorce. I know the invisible weight of it. The way it distorts your sense of normal. How hard it is to relay what you actually lived through to the professionals entrusted with getting you through.
So I built it.
My approach is strategic and compassionate. I see what's underneath the presenting crisis — and hold the complete picture: emotional, legal, financial, relational.
You won't spend our first session convincing me. I know what you're up against. Together, we'll chart a course forward that holds the process and the reality at the same time.
