About Me
I didn’t choose to become a Family Court consultant, but a decade of post-separation abuse and protracted custody battles forged my personal mission: to help protective moms navigate Family Court with strategy and efficiency.
My professional life as a business owner and a project manager in the fast-paced startup world gave me a unique skillset. The experience I acquired in strategic planning, meticulous organization, and problem-solving under pressure weren't just professional assets; it became my lifeline. I learned how to manage intricate projects on tight deadlines—and I now apply that same operational discipline to help mothers manage their cases with precision and efficiency.
This journey also demanded that I deeply educate myself on the dynamics of domestic abuse and coercive control. To formalize this hard-won knowledge, I received advanced training and certification as a Trauma-Informed Coach from Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a renowned expert in the field. Today, as the Co-Founder of New Jersey Protective Moms and an active member of organizations dedicated to legislative reform, I work to create the change I hope to see.
My purpose is to offer you this rare synthesis of lived understanding, professional operational strategy, and specialized training. My goal is not to give legal or therapeutic advice, but to provide the strategic framework you need to feel educated, empowered, and effective on your path forward.
