BEVERLY JEWELL, MA, RPC, NCC

Marriage Counselor/Divorce Coach

 
Bev has been working in the field of counseling since 1995, helping individuals and couples lead more fulfilling lives.   This often includes mending breaks in trust and communication, resolving conflict and navigating through life's transitions.

Her specialty is working to empower women as individuals of any age, whether they are currently in a relationship or not. Too often, women lose their sense of themselves when they get into a relationship and become wives and mothers.  This then becomes their identity instead of a "role" they fill.

When a crisis or natural transition takes place - such as children leaving home, dealing with aging parents, a mid-life crisis, an affair, retirement, divorce - women often have a difficult time getting back to a place of inner strength, which is needed, to get through these difficult times.

During a divorce, Bev's  goal is to help families get through the process in a respectful, amicable way, while staying out of court.  As a coach, she emphasizes communication skills, conflict resolution and phase of life transition.  This helps clients manage their anxiety in stressful situations, make clear informed decisions, build on inner strength, and begin to create a new life for themselves.  When there are children, she helps develop a co parenting plan so their children can continue to thrive with the love and support of both parents.  She is extremely effective in bringing organization, structure, and insight to help keep the case moving forward.

Bev's focus areas include: 

• Communication Skills
• Mediation / Conflict Resolution
• Phase of Life Transitions
• Divorce Coaching
• Case Management
• Co-Parenting Skills
• Divorce Recovery
• And, Much Empathy!

Her educational background includes: 

• BA in Counseling and Psychology 1990
• MA in Marriage and Family Therapy 1995
• Basic and Advanced Mediation Training
• Collaborative Divorce Team Training
• Training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
