Certified Divorce Financial Analysts (CDFA) in Los Angeles, California

CFP®, Wealth Manager

Even working as a financial advisor, I didn’t realize the impact a divorce could have on my financial future. I saved money and had excellent work benefits so in my mind, that should be more than enough. When I got divorced myself, I realized I needed a better plan for my future. It was the turning point in my life & I decided to help everyone I can to prepare for their financial future in the wake of a divorce. “A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there’s less of you.” - Margaret Atwood Most people are worried about running out of money when they retire. This is especially true when you find yourself trying to rebuild your finances after a divorce. As a CFP® practitioner and CDFA®, I help people at this challenging crossroads of life to be financially confident when they retire through financial solutions. “Divorce is a chapter in your life, not the whole story” Start a new chapter. My clients come to me when they want to: 📦 Create new financial goals and plan for them in the wake of a divorce. 📦 Plan a retirement that compliments their work pension benefits. 📦 Grow their money like the wealthy. 📦 Reduce their taxes now & later. 📦 Protect their hard-earned money from overall risks. The landscape has changed, and my clients are tired of putting all of their energy into: ❌ Not knowing what will happen to their work pension benefits if the market crashes. ❌ Not knowing if their savings and work pension will be enough to live their dream retirement. ❌ Removing the taxman in their life now & later. ❌ Trying different investment strategies hoping to get more returns but exposing to more risks. Within just a few weeks of adjusting their approach to money matters, they are frequently able to: 🎯 Feel at ease with a plan they can rely on even during economic uncertainties 🎯 Have peace of mind knowing that they are protected from the what-ifs of life 🎯 Be financially confident that they will not outlive their money 🎯 Save for tomorrow without cutting into their lifestyle That’s where I come into play. I am here to relieve your stress & simplify your financial life. If you’re ready to grow & get support, I invite you to contact me on LinkedIn or book a quick 15-minute discovery chat to talk about your specific needs.

Some of the most expensive financial mistakes in divorce happen not because assets are hidden, but because they are misunderstood. A divorce settlement may look fair on paper, but not all assets have the same after tax value, growth potential, or long term impact. Decisions involving retirement accounts, stock options, executive compensation, real estate, and support can affect your financial future for decades. Most people are asked to make these decisions without fully understanding the financial tradeoffs. My role is to help you understand the financial consequences of your choices before agreements become final. Together, we evaluate settlement options, identify potential risks, and develop strategies that support both the immediate settlement and the future you want to build. As a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®), I specialize in the financial complexities of divorce and major life transitions. With more than two decades of experience in financial auditing, corporate finance, employee benefits, and financial planning, I bring a unique perspective to every case. My background includes auditing registered investment advisers and investment funds, serving as Financial Controller for a technology company, and advising employees on retirement plans, equity and deferred compensation. I prepare settlement analyses, marital balance sheets, cash flow projections, and tax aware financial models that help clients, attorneys, and mediators make informed financial decisions. Beyond the divorce process, I help clients create a long term financial strategy so they can rebuild wealth, invest with purpose, plan for retirement, and move forward with confidence. Because while divorce may end one chapter of your life, your financial future is still being written.
