Did you know that “Strengths” is the longest word in the English language with one vowel?..and divorce requires every single strength you have.

Strength to leave.
Strength to stay.
Strength to co‑parent.
Strength to rebuild.
Strength to begin again.

At Finding "Strength" with Shell, I help you find the strengths you didn’t know you had and use them to create a future that feels like yours again.

🍂 Fall Into Clarity isn’t just a seasonal theme; it’s a mindset shift so many people need during divorce.

When life feels heavy, confusing, or tangled, clarity often arrives in small, steady moments… not all at once. This season reminds us that letting go, gathering what matters, slowing down, and choosing support are powerful acts of strength.

If you’re contemplating divorce or at the early “I don’t know what to do yet” stage, these five tips will help you breathe, ground yourself, and move forward with intention.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
We build clarity together, one steady step at a time.

Divorce is hard.
So is staying in a marriage where you feel yourself quietly fading a little more each day.

Co‑parenting and not seeing your kids every day is hard.
So is raising them in a home filled with tension, conflict, and the constant self‑abandonment that comes from trying to keep the peace.

Starting over is hard.
So is never knowing what possibilities, safety, or fulfillment might be waiting for you on the other side of a decision you’re afraid to make.

Every path has a “hard.”
Choose the one that leads you back to yourself, the one that makes you happy.

I’m excited to share that I recently completed my Interdisciplinary Collaborative Practice Training, a 16‑hour certification focused on helping families resolve conflict with clarity, respect, and stability.

Now that I've completed this training, I’m hoping to step into a role as a Collaborative Financial Neutral here in Connecticut. I’m looking forward to supporting couples and collaborative teams with transparent financial guidance that helps create calmer, more thoughtful resolutions.

I’m also thrilled to connect with the Connecticut Collaborative Practice Group Professionals. I can't wait to contribute to this meaningful work.

As the storm rolls in, you can feel it before you see it.
The sky shifts. The air thickens. Something inside you whispers,
“This is going to change everything.”

Divorce feels a lot like that.
A storm you didn’t ask for… but one you can’t outrun.

You sense the pressure building, the fear, the uncertainty, the grief for a future you once believed in. You brace yourself, wondering how hard it will hit, how long it will last, and whether you’ll still recognize your life when the clouds finally break.

But here’s the quiet truth most people don’t tell you:

Storms don’t just destroy.
They reveal.
They clear.
They make space.

And while the wind may take what was never meant to stay, it also uncovers parts of you that were buried under years of “holding it all together.”

As the storm rolls in, you’re not failing.
You’re not weak.
You’re not losing your life — you’re meeting yourself in a new one.

This is the season where you learn to anchor differently.
To choose clarity over chaos.
To rebuild with intention, not fear.

And you don’t have to navigate that storm alone.
That's where my work begins: helping you steady your footing, understand your financial landscape, and make decisions that feel safe, grounded, and yours.

🌿 The storm may be loud, but your strength is louder.
When you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you toward the clearing.

If you’re standing in that in‑between space right now, you’re not broken; you’re becoming.
And you don’t have to navigate that shift alone. I help you move from fear to clarity, from grief to grounded strength, and from “I don’t know where to start” to “I finally feel like myself again.”

🌱 Your next chapter is still yours to shape.
If you’re ready for support, I’m here.

As Kenny Rogers wisely said,
'Know when to hold 'em,
know when to fold 'em.’

In divorce:
‘Know when to strategize - early.
Know when to hold ‘em – when it matters.
And don’t you dare fold ‘em early’
Your future has too much value on the table
