Start with Clarity, Not Conflict
After over 30 years of working with countless couples and individuals, I have come to realize that people face a wide range of challenges in marriage. Whether you are just getting started or reaching the end, I am here to help you marry well or divorce with respect.
My Services:
The Candid Union™
Before you say “I do,” let’s make sure you truly know what you’re saying yes to. I’ve seen what makes marriages thrive, and what quietly tears them apart. This is a thoughtful, structured preparation for people who believe in marriage, and want to give theirs the best possible start.
Pre/Post Nuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement (also known as a Marital Property Agreement) is a document created by a couple before they marry addressing the ownership and treatment of their respective assets and income should the marriage end. After the wedding, a post-nuptial agreement may be used instead to address financial arrangements in the hope of preserving the marriage.
Divorce Consultations
Clarity and preparation can radically change how a divorce unfolds. Whether you need a professional second opinion, help reviewing court forms, a step-by-step divorce roadmap, or behind-the-scenes coaching to stay grounded and informed, I provide the guidance to feel more confident about your divorce process.
Divorce Mediation
Divorce Mediation is a process in which parties agree to problem-solve together using one neutral mediator who does not represent either party. As mediator, I work to assist with communication and cooperation, so that the parties can reach agreement on otherwise difficult topics to discuss.
Low-Conflict Divorce Representation
My approach prioritizes communication, problem-solving, and long-term stability — a guided, cooperative way to reach agreements with dignity, preserve relationships, and move forward with confidence.
WHO WE HELP.
Is This Right for You?
I’m often asked who I work with more, men or women, rich or working class. The answer is, it’s wide-ranging. My clients come from all walks of life: couples preparing for marriage, partners wanting clarity about long-term compatibility, and individuals or families seeking a low-conflict path through separation or divorce.
I’ve supported people at every income level, in all types of relationships, married, unmarried, first second and third marriages, same-sex couples, blended families, parents with one child or many, and those with no children at all. Some clients live in Wisconsin; others work with me from out of state. Every relationship story is unique, and I honor that.
What matters most for working with my office is one thing:
a genuine desire to solve problems in a healthy, respectful, forward-focused way.
Because I specialize in low-conflict divorce processes and pre-marital clarity coaching, I am not the right fit for clients who want to escalate conflict, “win” at any cost, or stay stuck in adversarial patterns. My approach is designed for people who want to reduce stress, preserve dignity, and prioritize emotional well-being: whether staying together or parting ways.
After decades of seeing the damage that adversarial processes can create, I am committed to offering healthier, more holistic alternatives. I help clients lower costs, communicate effectively, and move through difficult transitions without adding unnecessary pain to the process.
There is a way to navigate uncertainty, distrust, hurt, and fear without turning your process into a battle. Whether you need clarity before marriage, legal solutions to strengthen your relationship, or guidance through a peaceful separation, I’m here to help, even if you only need a few focused hours to move forward.
