When to contact me
You can contact me before, during, and after your divorce. You can get added value by working with a professional with experience in dealing with divorce at any step in the journey. Of course, the earlier I’m looped into the process, the better!
A popular misconception is that after the divorce is done, there is nothing left to do. That’s quite the opposite. The final stamped and signed divorce decree doesn’t transfer anything. It’s still the responsibility of both parties to make sure the stated instructions are followed. There is often confusion, inaction, or bad instructions given — obscuring the guidance provided by the divorce documentation.
There are many steps to make sure you’ve closed all the gaps. It can be very overwhelming. Let’s connect and learn how I can help give you confidence over your financial destiny. You deserve a clear vision of your post-divorce life.

Who I work with and how we work together
I can work with parties individually, couples who are going through mediation/collaborate divorce process, or as a part of a divorce professional team. Let’s chat.
Individuals
My goal is to make sure you have a financial advocate. I can be someone who understands your particular financial situation. I can explain it to you. Then help you strategize and move forward.
Couples
I can work with couples to offer a third-party objective opinion. This guidance is critical when it comes to creating a financially viable and fair solution for both parties. My job is to remain neutral and present the financial details that help both parties come to a fair and equitable financial arrangement.
Family Law Attorneys
I can serve as a witness and objective financial resource for cases that require a financial planning specialist. Whether it’s to provide perspective on settlement options to the couple outside of the courtroom or to provide testimony before a judge, I can be a partner.
Mediators and Collaborative Practice
I work collaboratively with couples whose main objective is to settle without a judge and minimize legal costs through a voluntary dispute resolution process.
Life Coaches
I can work with clients by providing financial assistance and developing financial strategies to enable them to move forward.
