A Practice Dedicated to Holistic & Full-Spectrum Support of Divorcing Couples.

-Serving clients in Washington State and the entire PNW-

Would you rather make your own decisions about your future than have a judge make them for you? Are you willing to put in the work it takes to reach thoughtful agreements?

I help people pursuing an amicable divorce or separation. I work with clients who are committed to moving through the process constructively and reaching negotiated resolutions with integrity and dignity. My approach is respectful and practical, helping clients preserve their ability to co-parent, make informed financial decisions, and avoid unnecessary conflict.

I am an accredited Family Mediator, CFP® professional, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® with more than 28 years of experience in financial planning and 15 years of experience helping divorcing couples. I am skilled in working through complex financial and parenting issues, and I am dedicated to helping clients and their families stay out of court and achieve better outcomes.

Divorce is difficult; it threatens families, productive co-parenting, and finances, just to name a few.  Studies suggest that divorce is one of the top three most stressful life events.  Data also supports the idea that the way in which parents divorce may significantly impact their children (either positively or, perhaps, irreparably). 

Elizabeth has, both professionally and personally, seen divorce done right and divorce gone horribly wrong.  She has witnessed familial relationships preserved and children honored in the way Parties choose to divorce, and she has observed the disastrous implications of contested and protracted litigation.  Often, the only persons who “win” in a litigated divorce are the litigation-focused attorneys, themselves, in the way of outrageous fees that can ultimately decimate family wealth, relationships & stability. 

Elizabeth’s passion lies in aiding divorcing individuals, couples, and fostering a safe environment which leads to a divorce settlement. Ideally, this can and often results in minimal conflict, timeliness, transparency, and equitable and enduring agreements.  Choosing an education-centered approach, along with an informed decision-making process leads to durable divorce agreements, respectful conflict resolution, and confident insight into your life, post-divorce.
