You have an attorney. You're not sure you have the right one — or you just want to know the strategy makes sense before the stakes get higher. Starting over with new counsel is expensive and exhausting, and most of the time, it isn't necessary. What you need is a private sounding board: someone to run ideas past, pressure-test the plan, and help you walk into your attorney's office with clearer questions and steadier footing.
For individuals already working with an attorney
A Second Set of Eyes
Private support for clients who have legal counsel — and want a steady place to think it through.
"I don't want a new attorney.
I want to understand the one I have."
You don't need to start over. You need a second perspective before the next decision.
What we'll work on together
The perspective the law leaves out.
As a former therapist and educator — and a mediator who has seen what holds up after the decree and what doesn't — I bring a vantage point your legal team isn't built to offer: grounded, strategic, and focused on the whole picture, not just the next filing.
Your counsel handles the law. I help you stay oriented, prepared, and clear-eyed about what actually matters.
Together, we'll examine the approach your counsel is using and make sense of what it's designed to accomplish, so you can evaluate it calmly rather than with dread.
We'll pressure-test ideas before you raise them with your lawyer, so your billable conversations are sharper and more focused.
I'll prepare you for pivotal moments — negotiations, four-way meetings, decisions with long-term consequences for your finances and your children.
I'll help you assess, honestly, whether your concerns about your counsel are a communication problem or a fit problem — before you make an expensive change.
And I'll keep the long view present — not just the case, but the life and family structure that has to function on the other side of it.
How this works
Some clients meet once. Some come back every few weeks. It depends entirely on what you need.
No contract. No retainer. No package to commit to. You reach out when something needs attention, we meet virtually or in person, and work through whatever is in front of you.
When the conversation ends, you go back to your life. When something new surfaces, you reach out again.
"My attorney recommended something and I'm not sure I agree."
"There's a settlement offer on the table and I want to think it through before I respond."
"A hearing is coming up and I want to walk in prepared, not panicked."
"I have an attorney, but I want a second perspective before I decide."
"Something shifted in my case and I need to make sense of it."
How payment works
No retainer. Pay as you go. Billed hourly.
You pay for the time you use, after each meeting. If you don't need me for three months, you don't pay for three months. When you reach back out, we pick up where we left off.
This matters because people often come to me already stretched, financially and otherwise. You shouldn't have to take on a major commitment just to get a clear head about your situation.
We'll discuss the hourly rate on that first call.
You stay in control of the pace, and the cost.
What I am, and what I'm not
I'm not your attorney. I won't replace your attorney.
I don't appear in court for you, and I don't give legal advice.
What I do is help you make sense of what's happening, ask better questions, and arrive at decisions you can genuinely stand behind. That's a different kind of work, and for a lot of people, it's the piece that's been missing.
This is strategic and emotional guidance, not legal counsel. I work in concert with your lawyer, never as a substitute for one.
I bring the experience of a therapist, a divorce mediator, and someone who has been through it myself.
When the legal side becomes disorienting, my job is to restore clarity, so you understand what's actually happening, what your real options are, and how to keep your own judgment intact while things move forward.
You stay in the driver's seat. Your counsel remains your counsel. You simply stop navigating it alone.
Take the first step
When you're ready, I'm here.
The first conversation is free. Twenty minutes. No pressure, no commitment — just a chance to talk through what's happening and see whether this is the right kind of support for your situation. You don't have to know what you want yet. That's what the conversation is for.
