As a mediation-trained Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) and Certified Divorce Coach (CDC®), I provide an expert-guided, lower stress and affordable divorce. My process includes understanding your objectives and concerns, gathering documents, analyzing all financial settlement components, developing fair and creative settlement options, leading settlement discussions and negotiations, discussing parenting plans and custody concerns, and then directing one of our trusted attorney-partners in drafting your property settlement agreement and filing your divorce. A CDFA® is uniquely qualified to create win-win settlements, taking into account both short and long-term implications, and addressing the complex issues around support, taxes, executive compensation, vacation and rental properties, business valuations, and pension and other retirement accounts.

I became a divorce mediator, coach, and financial consultant because I believe that a divorce, while a terrible thing to have to experience, doesn’t have to negatively impact us for life. Properly navigated, we can make decisions that will support a strong new beginning for ourselves and our children and look back on the transition feeling good about who we were throughout the process.
