The Training and Expertise You Need in Divorce

Divorce has a way of shaking your foundation—emotionally, legally, and especially, financially. I’ve sat across from women who felt frozen by fear, buried in spreadsheets, unsure if they could afford to leave—or how they’d rebuild once they did.

I created my firm not just to analyze the numbers, but to change the narrative.

With over 22 years in financial services, I saw a gap: women navigating divorce were underserved, overwhelmed, and often overlooked when it came to financial strategy. They needed more than formulas. They needed someone who could translate complexity into clarity, who could blend fierce expertise with compassion, and who could sit beside them—not above them—while mapping out their next chapter.

That’s why I became a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®. That’s why I added Family Financial Mediation. And that’s why I continue to grow—now studying to become a Certified Fraud Examiner, expanding the lens through which I protect and advocate for my clients.

Everything I offer—whether it’s a strategic Divorce VIP Day, a three-month coaching journey, or a single hour in what I call The Velvet Chair—is built on three promises: clarity, confidence, and calm. I don’t just crunch numbers. I help women reclaim their power, rewrite their financial story, and rise into what's next.  Because when you understand your money, you unlock your future.

Beyond the Numbers 

When I’m not working, you’ll find me embracing life with my family, whether splashing in the pool, enjoying the company of my furry companions, or hitting the road between Cary and Charlotte.  Having rediscovered my love of painting, I am an abstract painter too.
