Having been a paralegal in family law most of my adult life, there has been nothing more rewarding than helping people through the battlefield called family law. I’ve had the honor of working with some very high profile and famous clients – names most people would know instantly. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and that has certainly been helpful working in family law!

How I Got Here

So what brought me to this point, wanting to help women rebuild their lives after a divorce? That’s the real story of who I am.

It’s simple. I am that woman. Even though part of me was terrified at the thought of being alone when I decided to leave my marriage in 2008, I felt strong and confident in that decision. I think it was the fact that I’d finally made a decision.

But one day while packing to move, I fell apart. I started shaking. I was in a daze. I felt sick to my stomach. I felt like a failure. I had a horrible sinking feeling in my heart. Tears started running down my face.

Facing My Fears

My sons were both grown, so I was not worried about being a single parent. What I was so afraid of, what terrified me the most, was the thought of being alone the rest of my life. Would I ever find love again? Would anyone ever find me attractive or sexy? My self-esteem and self-confidence were in tatters.

Even though it was my choice to end my marriage, it was still hard. At 48 years old, I was terrified of starting over again, and I was afraid of being alone the rest of my life. I just kept thinking, if I could only just get rid of the fear of having to start over, and the fear of being alone…

That was two years ago.

Today, I am happy, content, and full of joy and passion with the life I’ve created. Because I found a way through the fear, and I found myself, my true self in the process, one where I don’t have to hide anything about who I am, or what I want ever again. I am building the life that I want, on my terms, in my way. Life is good.

Through my work, I am committed to helping women like me, who are in a place they never thought they would be, who have doubts and fears they never thought they would have.

Choices

We each have the choice of how our future will unfold. I am committed to helping women work through the issues they face as newly-single women so they, too, can make choices from a place of hope and strength, rather than fear and despair.

Life at 40, 50, 60 and beyond can be brilliant and amazing and sensational – if we choose it and are willing to find our purpose and spend the time to create the life we want.

It’s my life.

Regardless of what’s happened in the past, we are all still alive. So let’s live life on our terms, in our way. It’s a journey, and I’d love to help you on that journey so that you, too, can find your purpose and live a sensational life full of passion and joy!
