As a Certified Divorce Lending Professional, my practice is Divorce Mortgage Planning. This is not a loan product or a mortgage application. It is the analysis that sits underneath the property and debt decisions in a divorce: what the equity solutions actually are for each party, whether the proposed settlement will support financing once the decree is entered, how support, timing, and title language affect qualification, and where the settlement, the mortgage, and the real property contradict one another. I bring that analysis to the divorce team while the terms are still open, because after the agreement is signed, the language is what everyone has to live with, and financing has to conform to it rather than the other way around.

With over two decades of experience in mortgage lending, I specialize in helping clients navigate the complexities of home financing during and after divorce. As a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP), I work closely with attorneys, mediators, and financial advisors to provide strategic mortgage guidance that supports the overall settlement process and long-term financial well-being of my clients.

Born and raised in Oregon, I’m proud to bring a grounded, Northwest work ethic to clients across all 50 states. I hold a Bachelor of Science from the University of Oregon and an MBA with a focus in Finance from Marylhurst University. My approach blends financial expertise with compassion, helping clients make informed, empowered decisions during one of life’s most challenging transitions.

When I’m not assisting clients, you’ll likely find me outdoors enjoying everything from hiking to biking—or coaching youth sports, where I get to give back to the community and mentor the next generation.
