Divorce financial consulting rooted in expertise and care.

Verdant Bloom Divorce Consulting was founded because too many women came to us after their divorce was finalized with settlements that just weren't fair. We created this practice to meet women earlier in the process, at a time when smart guidance can make a real difference in divorce outcomes.

Let us be your trusted divorce financial consultant

For years, we worked as financial advisors helping clients build and protect their wealth. But we kept seeing the same heartbreaking pattern: women would come to us post-divorce, and as we reviewed their settlement agreements, it became clear they'd signed documents that didn't serve their long-term interests.

Maybe they didn't understand the tax implications of what they were agreeing to. Maybe they felt pressured to accept less than they deserved. Maybe they simply didn't have someone in their corner who could translate financial complexity into plain language and advocate fiercely on their behalf.

This CDFA® firm exists to give women the divorce financial support they need during the process, not after it's too late to change course. Because once those agreements are signed, they're permanent.

What is a Verdant Bloom?

The name Verdant Bloom represents new beginnings and the idea that even after something monumental ends, you can grow toward something better.

"Verdant" speaks to resilience, new life, and growth that comes from being properly nurtured and supported. "Bloom" is about the future you're stepping into, as someone new with unfolding potential.

This transition isn't just about dividing assets. It's about planting seeds for financial security, independence, and confidence in your next chapter.

We provide compassionate divorce financial expert guidance

We start by understanding your priorities and fears. What do you need your post-divorce life to look like? Once we understand what matters most, we dive into the details:

  • Gathering and analyzing all marital assets

  • Identifying what's fair versus what's being proposed

  • Running projections for different settlement scenarios

  • Flagging risks you might not see on your own

  • Advocating for your interests during mediation or in court

The goal isn't just a settlement. The goal is a settlement you can build a life on.
