What Everyone Needs to Know About Wills, Trusts & POAs

I help clients navigate the financial side of divorce through education, planning, and expert analysis. At SHFD Forensics in The Woodlands, TX, I work closely with individuals to bring clarity and confidence during one of life’s most difficult transitions. I also own SHFD Forensics, where we provide forensic accounting, asset tracing, valuation, and litigation support. With certifications including ABV, CDFA®, EA®, MAFF®, CVA®, and CRPC®, I’m able to offer thorough and strategic financial guidance throughout the divorce process.

At Intentional Wealth Partners, I focus on post-divorce financial management—supporting clients with asset transfers, tax planning, investment strategy, and building a new financial plan that reflects their goals and values. I’ve been in the financial industry since 1996 and remain passionate about helping people create a solid foundation as they move forward into their next chapter.
