You don't have to figure it all out at once.
White Oak Divorce Coaching provides a confidential, neutral place to slow down, sort through what's happening, understand your options, and prepare for the decisions and conversations ahead.

White oak trees were a source of peace, protection, and strength for me growing up. During my own divorce, I leaned on the people who provided those same qualities.
White Oak Divorce Coaching was created from that experience—with the belief that no one should have to navigate divorce without support.

I'm Karen Yurack, Owner of White Oak Divorce Coaching and a DCA® Certified ADR Divorce Coach.
For more than 19 years, I worked in family law, where I saw firsthand how overwhelming divorce can be—not just legally, but personally.
I've also experienced divorce myself. I'm a mom of two, remarried, and help raise two stepchildren. I've experienced firsthand that divorce doesn't simply end when the paperwork is finalized. There are new conversations, new decisions, new family dynamics, and a new chapter to navigate.
That combination of professional experience and personal experience shaped the way I approach coaching today.
I know that having an attorney doesn't necessarily mean you have someone to help you think through the difficult conversations, decisions, emotions, and day-to-day challenges that come with divorce.
That's where coaching can help.
My role is to give you a confidential, neutral place to slow things down, get organized, ask questions, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.

A divorce coach helps you navigate the space in between.
That might mean slowing down a difficult decision, preparing for a conversation, organizing your thoughts before meeting with your attorney, preparing for mediation, thinking through a parenting schedule with specific details, or figuring out how to respond when emotions take over.
I don't tell you what decision to make. I help you think through your options so you can make decisions that are intentional and true to what matters to you.

Divorce may be one of the most difficult transitions of your life.
But it doesn't have to define who you are or what comes next.
At White Oak Divorce Coaching, I believe you deserve support that helps you slow down, protect what matters most, and move through this chapter with intention.
Divorce is not your identity.
It is not your destination.
And it does not get the final word.
