They needed frameworks for managing a manipulative ex. The law couldn't provide that.
They needed decision architecture for impossible trade-offs. The court couldn't design that.
They needed communication systems that worked under pressure. Their lawyer couldn't build that.
The most valuable part of my work wasn't the legal advice, it was the strategic thinking that helped people navigate what the law couldn't touch.
So I retrained as a mediator, built coaching frameworks, and created structure for the parts of divorce that destroy people, not because they're legally complex, but because they lack design.
19 years of family law experience across two jurisdictions. I know what holds up in court, what matters in negotiation, and what's just noise.
Trained in mediation and high-conflict resolution. I understand manipulation tactics, escalation patterns, and why standard approaches fail.
Strategic thinking that treats divorce as a design problem. Not a crisis to manage. Not trauma to process. A complex system requiring intentional architecture.
DIRECT. I don't soften difficult realities. If your strategy isn't serving you, I'll tell you.
STRATEGIC. Every situation is a design problem with structural solutions. We build frameworks, not just cope with feelings.
PRECISE. I strip false options, surface actual interests, focus on execution.
BOUNDED. Clear scope, clear access, clear expectations. I protect my capacity to deliver strategic thinking when you need it.
