Divorce is hard enough—financially, emotionally, and logistically. But the right professional guidance can make the process dramatically easier and far less expensive. At Optimal Divorce Solutions, I bring together four critical skillsets that most professionals don’t offer under one roof. I’m a Certified Divorce Coach, Certified Divorce Mediator, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®), and Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE), as well as a Licensed Real Estate Broker in both New Hampshire and Maine.
This unique blend of qualifications allows me to provide comprehensive, cost-effective divorce support that streamlines your process, protects your financial future, and helps you avoid costly mistakes.
What Makes My Services Unique—and Valuable
Most people going through divorce hire a team of separate professionals: a therapist, a mediator, a financial advisor, a real estate agent, and often an attorney. While this may seem thorough, it often leads to duplicated efforts, communication breakdowns, and increased expenses.
With me, you get integrated support from one highly qualified expert who understands how each piece of your divorce fits together. That saves you money, time, and stress.
How My Credentials Help You Save Money During Divorce
1. Certified Divorce Coach (CDC)
Helps you avoid emotional decision-making that leads to costly legal battles
Supports you in staying organized, focused, and efficient throughout the process
Reduces your reliance on hourly attorney fees for emotional processing
2. Certified Divorce Mediator
Offers a neutral space to resolve conflict without litigation
Avoids the high cost of court battles (which can exceed $30,000+ per person)
Promotes win-win outcomes, reducing the emotional and financial toll
3. Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®)
Helps you understand the long-term financial impact of settlement options
Prevents costly mistakes with retirement, alimony, and property division
Builds post-divorce budgets and financial plans that align with your future goals
4. Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE) & Licensed Real Estate Broker
Guides you through real estate valuation, sale, refinancing, or buyouts
Protects your equity and negotiates with divorce-specific expertise
Reduces the need for separate appraisals or third-party real estate agents
Real-Life Cost Savings My Clients Experience
Clients who work with me often save thousands of dollars in:
Legal fees by minimizing attorney involvement
Realtor commissions by working with one trusted real estate advisor
Financial planning fees by using integrated CDFA services
Court costs through successful mediation outcomes
And just as importantly, they save time, energy, and emotional bandwidth.
Why This Matters Even More in High-Net-Worth and Gray Divorce Cases
In higher-asset or later-life divorces, the stakes are even greater. Retirement accounts, business interests, multiple properties, and complex spousal support needs require experienced, strategic guidance. My integrated approach ensures no detail is missed, and every decision is aligned with your long-term well-being.
Integrated Support = Streamlined Results
Clients frequently tell me, "I didn’t know someone like you existed." Most professionals work in silos. But with me, you don’t have to retell your story to five different people or coordinate between multiple experts. I’m with you from start to finish, helping you:
Prioritize your goals
Protect your finances
Resolve real estate decisions
Communicate with your ex more effectively
Move forward with clarity and peace of mind
