How I help.
I walk alongside people through the financial side of divorce. I help you gather the right information, understand what the numbers actually mean, and know the questions to ask before you sign anything. Whether you're just starting to think about it or you're days from signing, there's a way to begin.
How I work with people
I get to know your unique situation. Your specific combination of assets, income, debts, retirement accounts, property, and everything else you've accumulated, inherited, or built together over the course of your marriage. No two cases look the same, and I don't treat them that way.
Assets that look equal on paper behave very differently in real life, especially over time.
Steve wanted his wife to keep the house, but she couldn't refinance out of his 2.99% pandemic-era rate. "She'll live there and I'll keep paying" sounds generous. But it's shared risk that follows both of them for years. Equal on paper, unequal in life.
Shared mortgage risk, real client (name changed)
A $500,000 retirement account and $500,000 in home equity might look like a clean 50/50 split. But one is taxed when you withdraw it. The other ties up your cash in an illiquid asset with maintenance, insurance, and property taxes. Five years from now, those two "equal" assets produce completely different lives.
I don't do "split it 50/50." I look at how your assets will actually function in the years ahead, not just how they look on the page today.
That's the difference between what I do and the advice that's out there. I help you make decisions from clarity, not assumptions.
Whether that means sitting down together for 90 minutes, reviewing a settlement line by line, or working alongside your attorney for months on a complex case, I meet you where you are. You can hear how I think about all of this in The Private Sessions, which is where most people start.
Three ways to start now
The Private Sessions
$97
Eight audio episodes and a workbook. I walk you through the financial side of divorce: what to gather, what to watch for, and how to think about your settlement. Everything is delivered through the Hiro app, privately. Nothing shows up in your play history or on a shared account. This is where most people start, especially if you're early in the process and want to educate yourself before talking to anyone.
Learn more →Strategy Session
$300
A 90-minute session where we sit down (in person in Spokane or virtually via Zoom) and I look at your specific situation. I assess your financial picture, identify what's at risk, and tell you exactly what to focus on next. No sales pitch. If 90 minutes is all you need, that's all you pay for.
Learn more →Settlement Review
$600
You have a proposed settlement on the table and you want someone to look at it before you sign. I go through it line by line, three ways: nominal value, after-tax value, and liquidity-adjusted value. You'll know what you're actually getting, not just what the number looks like. Written report included.
Learn more →Additional support
Some situations need more than a single session. Depending on where you are in your case, I may recommend one of these.
Monthly Advisory
Ongoing financial support throughout your divorce. Pre-meeting preparation, real-time settlement analysis, scenario modeling. I'm in your corner for every decision.
Analytical Work Bank
Targeted analytical hours for you or your attorney. Asset tracing, tax impact analysis, executive compensation, settlement modeling.
Full CDFA Engagement
Comprehensive analysis for complex or high-asset cases. Everything from discovery through narrative settlement. I work alongside your attorney from first question to final signature.
These are tailored to your situation. Tell me about where you are and I'll recommend what makes sense.
Not sure which one fits?
That's normal. Most people don't know exactly what they need when they first reach out. Tell me about your situation and I'll point you in the right direction.
