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 is 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.
As a financial professional trained specifically in the complexities of divorce, I bridge the gap where most financial planners, accountants, and even attorneys may not be fully versed. I focus on untangling the financial side - helping you get organized, prepare for what’s ahead, understand potential temporary support orders, and create a workable budget for your new reality.
I dig into financial affidavits to uncover overlooked assets and spending patterns, highlight opportunities or risks, and help you see how each choice today can shape your financial future. With the right information and a clear plan, you can make decisions with confidence and give your legal team the strongest possible foundation for negotiation.
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.
I also hold an MBA in Finance & Marketing and am a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® — a designation focused on helping clients and professionals understand the financial implications of divorce. [Learn more about this designation here.]
But more importantly, I lead with empathy. My mission is to help individuals facing financial abuse, controlling partners, high-conflict divorces, or simply being on their own for the first time 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.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY DO?
I take the chaos out of your finances—so you don’t have to face it alone.
I gather, organize, and explain the numbers in a way that makes sense.

I’m not a lawyer or tax advisor, but I make sure the financial side of your case is solid, clear, and ready to be heard.
WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU?
I know how stressful and confusing divorce finances can feel - especially when there are layers of accounts, statements, and what-ifs to sort through. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® with over 20 years in finance, I help you make sense of it all. I take the time to explain things clearly, guide you step by step, and bring calm, clarity, and confidence to a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming.
WHY CAN'T MY LAWYER DO THIS FOR ME?
Because your lawyer handles the law - I’m here for the finances.
I work alongside your legal team to uncover patterns, organize documents, and build a solid financial foundation. I can communicate directly with your attorney to save you time, reduce stress, and keep things moving. My goal is to make sure your legal team has everything they need to present clear, well-supported settlement options.

I focus on complex financial situations such as executive compensation (including stock, deferred compensation, and bonus structures), real estate, and uncovering hidden or overlooked assets.

I’m also a trained financial communicator and can provide expert testimony in court if needed.
