Divorce is 80% emotional and 20% legal. If you don't manage the 80%, it will sabotage the rest. I act as your thinking partner to decouple the emotions from the business of divorce, saving you money, time, and heartache.

Heidi asked me all the right questions at all the right times. She listened to my needs and knew how to lead me to my own best answers with grace, wit and camaraderie. She helped me tease out really clear next steps during each and every session, which felt amazing because at the beginning of my sessions, I always showed up feeling so overwhelmed. Nothing about working with her felt forced. She's an easy, thoughtful, brilliant person and I can't recommend her enough.
