Relationship turmoil can put your sobriety at risk.
Are you struggling with:
Staying frozen in "should I stay or should I go" until the indecision becomes its own crisis?
Cycling between rage, shame, and guilt so fast you can barely think straight?
White-knuckling it through every interaction instead of working your recovery?
Blaming your partner for everything and not being able to see your own part in it?
Knowing resentment is the number one offender but unable to let it go?
You deserve recovery-informed guidance when your relationship and your sobriety are on the line.
Whether you decide to stay, leave, or rebuild, you can do it with your program intact and your feet on the ground.

Serenity Call
Sobriety gave you a second chance.
This crisis does not get to take it.
Serenity Call
I get it. White knuckling it through this is exhausting.
You want to be a sober, steady person even in the middle of this.
To do that, you need support that understands both recovery and relationship crisis. The problem is most support only covers one side. So you're left trying to hold it together on your own, right when it matters most.
You deserve recovery-informed guidance when your relationship and your sobriety are both on the line.
That's why I created the Relationship Serenity Method.
I went through a high-conflict divorce before I got sober, with no recovery tools to help me through it.
That experience is why I can sit across from you and say: I know what this feels like from the inside. And I know what's possible when you have the right support. That is what drives this work. Today, I help people in recovery move through relationship crisis without losing their footing, their clarity, or their sobriety.
Here’s how I’m different:

“I almost lost my sobriety over my divorce.
Susan made sure I didn't.”
My life was in a state of enormous flux and I was struggling to stay afloat. Susan met with me, connected me with the right people, and genuinely changed the course of what I was facing. My life has changed so much as a result of working with her.
M.M
I hired Susan during a highly complex and hostile divorce. She translated the legal process into clear, actionable terms and gave me strategic insight into how the local family court actually works. I went from feeling completely overwhelmed to understanding exactly what was happening and what to do about it. Her coaching had an enormous impact on the final resolution of my case.
P.S
Susan listens carefully, gets to the heart of every issue, and approaches the most difficult situations with clarity and strategy. Anyone who works with Susan will benefit from her wisdom, strength, and compassion.
G.M
I wanted to share my experience working with Susan during my stressful divorce. Despite the challenges of my career and caring for three young children, Susan provided immediate reassurance and essential resources for our emotional wellbeing and frankly, my mental health. I was a wreck when I first walked into Susan's office. She supported me throughout the entire process, even attending my final court date for emotional support.

FAQ
Who is this designed for?
This work is for people in recovery who are facing a relationship crisis, whether you are considering divorce, in the middle of one, or trying to decide whether to stay. If your sobriety and your relationship are both under pressure at the same time, this was built specifically for you. You do not have to have it figured out. You just have to be willing to work your program through it.
Will this replace my sponsor or my meetings?
No. This is a bolt-on to your existing recovery program, not a replacement for it. Your sponsor, your meetings, and your steps stay exactly where they are. What I do is apply recovery principles directly to the relationship crisis in front of you — so your program gets stronger through this, not weaker.
Have you been through this yourself?
Yes. I went through a high-conflict divorce and I have sixteen years of sobriety. I know what it feels like to be inside a relationship crisis without the right tools — and I know what becomes possible when you have them. That is not something I studied. It is something I lived. It is why I do this work.
What if I'm worried this will threaten my sobriety?
That worry is exactly why you should make this call. Relationship crisis is one of the leading causes of relapse for people with long-term sobriety. The risk is real. The answer is not to white-knuckle your way through it alone, it is to get support that understands both your recovery and what you are facing. That is what this is.
