Why We Begin With a Consultation

Before We Talk Numbers, We Talk About You

A Simple, Safe First Step

You’re afraid. You feel alone. You’re unsure who to talk to. You come across Healing House Solutions and wonder, “Can they help me?”


Maybe a friend mentioned us. Maybe a therapist referred you. Maybe Google led you here while you were searching for financial guidance during a major life transition. You’ve scrolled through the website and you’re gathering the courage to contact us. That step doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating. A consultation is a simple, non-threatening place to start, with no obligation to move forward beyond that one conversation.

Why Trust Comes First

When a woman reaches out to me, she’s rarely looking for just numbers or logistics. She’s carrying a story, one often filled with uncertainty, fear, and big decisions about her future. At this stage, it is essential that she feels she can trust the person she’s inviting into this very personal season of her life.

A consultation gives us the space to build that trust.

It allows you to experience how I work and to see that I understand the realities you’re facing, not only through professional training and experience, but through years of walking alongside women navigating separation and divorce. When you feel heard, understood, and safe enough to share what’s really going on, we can begin doing meaningful work together and create financial clarity during a major life transition.

Understanding You Before Strategy

Before we ever talk about strategy, I want to understand you. Your story. Your pain points. What feels overwhelming right now, and what you hope life could look like on the other side of this season. Without that context, it’s impossible to offer guidance that truly serves you or provide meaningful financial clarity during a major life transition.

Why a Full Hour Matters

I know a consultation is an investment; not just of your time, but of your money, especially at a moment when finances may already feel frightening or uncertain. I’ve tried the ‘free 15-minute call’ model, and here’s what I learned: It leaves everyone feeling shortchanged. There simply isn’t enough time to be heard, to ask meaningful questions, or to begin forming a thoughtful plan. When the stakes are this high, surface-level conversations aren’t helpful. Investing in clarity and peace of mind at this stage can ease anxiety and help you move forward with greater confidence. 

What You Receive From a Consultation

This consultation is designed to provide high-value, practical guidance in a timely way. It is a space to ask the questions that keep you up at night and to receive clarity around next steps, especially if you’re seeking financial guidance during a major life transition.

After our time together, you’ll receive a personalized follow-up email tailored to your situation, including referrals (when appropriate) to mediators, attorneys, counselors, and other support professionals serving Oregon and southwest Washington.

As a licensed real estate agent in Oregon, I can also help you think through questions about staying in or selling a marital home and the many complex issues that decision involves. My promise to you is that you’ll leave feeling educated, encouraged, and empowered.

What Comes Next

For some women, this one-hour consultation provides exactly the clarity they need to move forward on their own. Others choose to continue with a Financial Analysis Package, where we build a realistic budget, prepare marital asset reports, and explore settlement options through scenario planning. For those who want ongoing guidance without a full financial analysis, we also offer Clarity and Confidence coaching sessions grounded in our five core values. Depending on your circumstances, you may simply need customized support on an hourly basis. You’ll have options and agency to make whatever decision is best for you. 

Where Clarity Begins

Clarity doesn’t come from rushing. Confidence comes from being heard, understood, and supported. A consultation is where financial clarity during a major life transition begins.

When you’re ready, you can schedule your consultation here. I’m looking forward to talking to you.
