When the time comes to separate, you deserve more than conflict and uncertainty.
You deserve a process that is private, strategic, and designed to protect both your dignity and your future.
Empowered Separation is a refined financial mediation experience for couples who want to resolve divorce thoughtfully—without courtroom battles, unnecessary expense, or emotional escalation. This is not a quick compromise or a one-size-fits-all process.
It is a guided, financially informed path toward resolution—built with intention, clarity, and mutual respect.
A Modern Mediation Standard—Grounded in Financial Expertise
Most mediators come from a legal background. Few are trained to analyze the financial implications that must now be addressed under modern mediation standards.
That distinction matters.
With more than two decades of experience in banking and investments, and over a decade as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, I bring a financial lens that ensures your agreements are not only emotionally considerate—but financially sustainable.
From evaluating retirement assets and support scenarios to projecting long-term cash flow and understanding the financial impact of parenting decisions, every conversation is informed by clarity and analysis.
The result is a process that supports better decisions now—and fewer regrets later.

This mediation experience is designed for couples who value structure, neutrality, and forward-thinking resolution.

Divorce is a full financial restructuring. Retirement accounts, cash flow, taxes, support, real estate—each choice carries long-term consequences. Without rigorous financial analysis, agreements that are just numbers on paper can fail in real life.
