Divorce Is a Life Transition — I Specialize in Those
During COVID, I co-founded Trellis — a group of women professionals across financial, legal, and real estate fields. As we learned from each other, one pattern kept coming up: people going through divorce often had no idea where to turn for help with the real estate piece. Attorneys would ask their clients to sell the house, but there was no one helping them navigate the emotional and practical reality of that decision.
Through Trellis, I've built relationships with divorce attorneys, financial advisors, and therapists who all understand that this isn't just a transaction — it's a turning point. My role is to be the calm, steady, neutral presence that keeps the real estate moving forward while you focus on your family and your future.
Neutral, Professional Guidance
I work with both parties fairly and transparently. My role is to keep the real estate piece moving forward while respecting the complexity of what you're going through.
Confidential & Discreet
Every detail is handled with the utmost confidentiality. I can communicate separately with each party and coordinate with attorneys and mediators to keep things smooth.
Court-Ready Documentation
I provide accurate market valuations and documentation that attorneys and courts require. As a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), my analyses are thorough and defensible.
Trellis Network Support
Through Trellis — the professional network I founded — I connect you with divorce attorneys, financial advisors, therapists, and other specialists who understand what you're facing.
Why Work With Me

Selling a home during divorce requires more than market knowledge. It requires sensitivity, neutrality, and a team of professionals who get it. I bring all of that — plus the practical expertise to price it right, market it discreetly, and close it smoothly.

A Message to Both Parties
My role is to be a neutral, professional resource focused on one thing: getting the best real estate outcome for everyone involved — so both of you can move forward.
I work with attorneys, mediators, and both parties to ensure the property is valued fairly, marketed effectively, and sold smoothly — with minimal additional stress during an already difficult time.
Through Trellis, I can also connect you with divorce attorneys, financial planners, and other professionals who specialize in helping families through transitions.
