After 26 years in the field of Education and 12 years as a stay-at-home mom, it was my own divorce that propelled me to pursue a new career and direction in my life. My personal experience of divorce inspired me and made me passionate about supporting others emotionally, mentally and financially. I became well-versed in how to help, support and guide others away from making painful, expensive and emotionally damaging mistakes that divorce can bring.
As a Professionally Certified Divorce, Career & Empowerment Coach, and as a Certified Divorce Specialist, I help individuals navigate successfully through challenging times in their lives. Divorce is life-altering and my work helps those going through it gain a sense of control at a particularly raw time when they feel their life is coming apart at the seams. 
I am the quarterback of the process, filling the grey space between therapy and the law, teaching individuals how to think rationally, creatively and productively as they consider all of their options and complete their settlement agreement with the intention of focusing on attaining the outcome that is right for them and their family. 
I work to help find my clients the best divorce professionals for them from lawyers, to real estate agents, to mortgage brokers, to financial advisors, to parenting experts. With all that's at stake, those who are about to separate need an affordable advocate who will look out for their short and long term interests as well as empower them throughout the process and prepare them for their new path ahead. I will help you identify your wants and needs and assist you in navigating the turbulent waters of the divorce process down a channel that allows you to live your new life, on your terms. Note: Cindy's services are currently being offered virtually.
