Like all women, I’ve had to adapt and pivot throughout life’s stages. I started my career in the entertainment industry but acknowledged from a young age how important work-life balance was to me, and so I pivoted. I knew I wanted to have a family, but also desired a job outside the home; so I carved out a career that was rewarding yet flexible. I went on to work at a business management firm, where I became fascinated by the relationship between people’s financial lives and their personal lives.

I went on to start my own company, where I worked with clients and businesses to manage their everyday financial needs – helping them to establish budgets, financial planning systems,  and banking relationships.

Still, I felt drawn to the more emotional and behavioral realm of money. Each of my clients had their own money story, and unique patterns and beliefs around their finances; some of which were holding them back. I knew that until I could really understand what motivates a client’s behaviors – what fears they have, what they desire, what their core values are –– I would not be able to help them fully achieve their best lives, financially and interpersonally.

I also realized that life is a series of many chapters, some tougher than others; and one of the areas I continued to work on with clients was divorce. So I found my niche through guiding clients, mostly women (and some wonderful men), through these life transitions. There are so many legal, financial, and emotional components, and it became my objective to make what’s undoubtedly a painful situation into one that would leave them more secure and empowered – because divorce doesn’t have to leave you depleted emotionally and financially (go figure)!
