Guiding you to feel supported and empowered every step of the way.
At Divorce Transition Mentors our goal is to help you come through your divorce empowered and with a realistic plan for your future.
When it comes to protecting yourself in a divorce and looking out for your own interests, it is important that you know what those interests are. Think long and hard about what is most important to you in your divorce and be realistic about compromise. Divorce is a negotiation (as most divorce cases are settled outside of court) and choosing your battles wisely can go a long way in getting you the results you need so you can move on with your life and get started on a new chapter in life.

I am grateful to call Carlsbad, CA, my home. I am the proud mother of two daughters who continue to inspire me. My oldest is studying at the University of Colorado Boulder, and my youngest, a high school senior, is preparing to embark on her next chapter at college with her sights set on becoming a surgeon. In 2023, I remarried and happily expanded my family to include a wonderful husband and two stepsons, who all have enriched our lives in countless ways.
Outside of my work, I find joy in the simple things that make life feel full. I love cooking for the people I care about, reading, traveling, playing games, and getting outdoors with our two dogs. Originally from Seattle, I still appreciate the rhythm of changing seasons and often retreat to the mountains of Idyllwild to enjoy the quiet, the snow, and the shift in pace. I also enjoy challenging myself through adventure, whether learning to ride a longboard or exploring my interest in motorcycles, especially riding them.
When clients work with me, they receive more than guidance. They gain a steady, judgment-free partner who understands both the emotional and practical sides of the divorce process. I bring compassion, structure, and deep expertise to help you feel supported, informed, and capable as you move forward. My goal is to help each person build confidence, reclaim their sense of self, and create a future that feels intentional and empowering.
