RECLAIM YOUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM

At Clarity Financial Wellness, I help you take back control, uncover the full financial picture, and move forward with calm, confidence, and clarity.

​

Divorce can be financially overwhelming, especially when control, complexity, or emotional abuse are involved. And when you’re in the thick of it, handling the money side alone can feel impossible.

​​

That’s where I come in.

​​

I specialize in high-conflict situations marked by financial control, hidden assets, and manipulation.

​​

With years of experience in financial analysis and executive-level communications, I understand how financial details and legal strategy intersect.

 

While your attorney focuses on your legal case, I help you gather, organize, and analyze your financial life - often surfacing overlooked assets or patterns that augments your legal team's strategy, and supports better settlement outcomes for you.

 

Whether you're preparing for divorce, navigating it, or rebuilding after, I offer strategic, compassionate support - I help center you financially as you regain your emotional footing, so you're not just surviving, but moving forward with strength and clarity.

Hello, I'm Stephanie

FINANCIAL DIVORCE COACH

As a former finance executive with 20 years of experience, I know how to make sense of complex financial situations - and explain them clearly.

​

I’ve worked at notable financial services firms like NASDAQ, Thomson Reuters, MSCI and Envestnet (a leading platform used by financial advisors and asset managers), partnering closely with legal, compliance, accounting, and communications. I specialize in financial storytelling, strategic communication, and uncovering the full picture - assets, risks, and all.

​

But more importantly, I lead with empathy. My mission is to help individuals facing financial abuse, controlling partners, or high-conflict divorces gain the clarity and confidence to take control of their finances - and find the freedom they deserve.

The Heart Behind Clarity

MY STORY

After a successful finance career, I found myself in an unexpected chapter - unemployed, for over a year, uncertain, and questioning what came next.

​​

During that time, I helped a close friend through a difficult divorce. Her husband controlled every dollar - she didn’t even have her own login to their joint accounts. Together, we took back her financial power: uncovering hidden assets, creating a budget, opening her own bank account, applying for housing, and building a plan she could feel good about.

​​

That experience changed everything. It opened my eyes to how many people face major life transitions , especially divorce, without the financial knowledge, insight, or support they need.

​

I founded Clarity Financial Wellness to change that.

​

Clarity bridges the gap between legal, emotional, and financial guidance. Whether you're preparing to leave, in the thick of it, or rebuilding after, I’m here to help you move forward with calm, confidence, and control.
