You've Done the Therapy. Now What?
When you’ve asked for change, tried everything you know how to do, and you’re wondering what comes next, I help you navigate relationship and divorce decisions with emotional, financial, and legal clarity.
Clarity. Confidence. Self-Trust.Â
You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone.
Relationship uncertainty is one of the most emotionally, financially, and legally complex transitions a person can experience. Most professionals focus on just one piece of the puzzle:
A therapist helps you process your emotions.
An attorney advocates for you in court.
A financial advisor helps you understand the numbers.
But when you are standing at the center of it all, you need someone who can help you integrate the whole picture. That is where I come in. I help thoughtful people understand the emotional, financial, and legal dimensions of their decisions so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Â

I'm a family law attorney, mediator, certified Martha Beck life coach, yoga teacher, and somatic practitioner.
For more than twenty years, I've helped individuals and families navigate conflict, major life transitions, and divorce.
Today, I combine legal knowledge, emotional insight, and practical strategy to help clients make thoughtful decisions that honor both their circumstances and their deepest values.
I created this work because I saw how often people were asked to make life-changing decisions while emotionally overwhelmed, legally confused, and financially uncertain.

It's one of life's most profound transitions.
