Private Divorce Financial Strategy
How I Work With You
Strategic financial clarity for business owners and physicians navigating complex divorce — built around your situation, not a template.
Why This Matters
Divorce Is a Financial Restructuring Constantly Hijacked by Emotion
The fear of losing your business, the anxiety about financial security, the grief of a life you planned falling apart — these emotions do not just coexist with financial decisions. They distort them. A standard process cannot account for that. Strategy can.
What Standard Processes Do
Same number of meetings. Same checklists. Same templates. Different "packages" based on asset size, but the process itself is cookie-cutter. Critical blind spots get missed — the kind that cost six or seven figures.
What Strategic Partnership Looks Like
Every engagement is built around your specific financial complexity, your emotional reality, and where you are in the process. Because a business owner terrified of losing her company needs a different strategy than one who has already mentally moved on.
The Methodology
The E.A.W. Divorce Strategy Framework™
After more than twenty-two years specializing in divorce financial strategy — including fifteen years inside the legal world of divorce — I developed a proven methodology that adapts to each client's unique situation.
Understanding What the Numbers Cannot Tell Me
Before I open a single spreadsheet, I need to understand what is driving your decisions — and what might be distorting them. Your emotional reality shapes your financial strategy.
Deep Financial Discovery
I know how businesses are valued in divorce court, what judges focus on, and what is coming next in your case before you do. I uncover what cookie-cutter processes miss.
Where Financial Reality Meets Your Life
I weave financial realities with your goals, fears, and priorities to create a strategy that fits your actual life. Same business, same numbers — entirely different strategies for each spouse.

Wherever You Are
There Is No Wrong Time to Reach Out
You do not have to be in the middle of a divorce to work with me. I step in wherever you are, whether you are planning quietly, weighing a decision, or already at the table.
Before Anything Begins
You are not certain divorce is ahead, but you want to understand your financial exposure and protect what you have built. Proactive planning is often the strongest position of all.
As You Consider or Begin
You are weighing your options or just starting the process, and you need clarity on the numbers before you make decisions you cannot undo.
In the Middle of an Active Case
You are already in negotiations, mediation, or litigation, and you need strategic financial support now, working alongside your legal team.
I intentionally work with a select number of clients at a time, so every engagement receives senior-level attention. Reach out to begin a confidential conversation.
Considering Mediation?
Financial-First Mediation for Ready Couples
I also provide Financial-First Mediation for high-net-worth couples who are ready to talk but need expert financial guidance to ensure their settlement is viable and implementable. A different service. The same strategic depth.
Who I Work With
Complex Divorce Demands Precision
I specialize in high-stakes divorces involving complex finances — particularly business owners and physicians who feel misunderstood by a system that was not designed for their situation.
Business Owners
Protecting your company, navigating valuation disputes, and ensuring your life's work survives the process.
Physicians & Dentists
Practice valuations, goodwill disputes, income tracing, and partnership equity — navigated with insider knowledge.
Other Professionals
Executives, attorneys, and high-earning professionals with equity compensation, deferred income, or complex estates.
Schedule a CallI will not take your money for something that will not truly serve you.
I do not offer hourly consulting or disconnected pieces of guidance. Strategy without implementation support means wasted money. Analysis without negotiation presence means missed opportunities. Every engagement is designed to deliver a complete strategic outcome. My engagements are flat-fee, not hourly, so I can focus entirely on your results rather than watching the clock.
Take the First Step
Your Divorce Is Not Standard.
Neither Is the Support You Deserve.
Whether you need clarity before making a decision or strategic support in an active case, the first step is the same: a confidential conversation about your situation.
