Clarity Financial Wellness offers Certified Divorce Financial Analysis for high-net-worth, complex, and high-conflict divorce cases in Colorado — including hidden assets, executive compensation, settlement modeling, and financial affidavit support.

FINANCIAL CLARITY THROUGH DIVORCE. FREEDOM BEYOND IT.

Because in divorce, numbers tell the real story.

​​​​

Divorce can be financially overwhelming, especially when multiple accounts, complexity, executive compensation, business interest, or uneven access to information are involved. And when you’re in the thick of it, handling the financial side alone can feel impossible.

​​

That’s where I come in.

​​

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) based in Colorado, I work with individuals and families navigating high-net-worth, complex, and high-conflict divorces. Many of my clients face questions around hidden assets, executive compensation, real estate, or business ownership.

As a financial professional trained specifically in the complexities of divorce, I bridge the gap where most financial planners, accountants, and even attorneys may not be fully versed. I focus on untangling and simplifying the financial side. My role is to untangle, analyze, and simplify the financial side of divorce so you can make informed, strategic decisions with confidence.​

I help you:

  • Understand your full financial picture

  • Model potential support and settlement outcomes

  • Build a realistic, sustainable post divorce budget

  • Review financial affidavits for accuracy and gaps

  • Identify risks, opportunities, and long-term impacts

Whether you’re preparing for divorce, deep in mediation or litigation, or rebuilding afterward, I bring calm guidance and clear analysis every step of the way.

My goal: to help you move forward with strength, confidence, and clarity.

Hello, I'm Stephanie

FOUNDER & DIVORCE FINANCIAL ANALYST

I help clients bring order, strategy, and calm to the financial side of divorce.

As a former finance executive with more than 20 years of experience, I know how to make sense of complex financial situations - and explain them clearly. Before launching Clarity, I spent my career at leading financial services firms including NASDAQ, Thomson Reuters, MSCI, and Envestnet (a leading platform used by financial advisors and asset managers), partnering closely with legal, compliance, accounting, and communications teams.

 

My background spans financial analysis, strategic communication, corporate finance, and translating complex financial stories into clear, actionable insights.

Based in Castle Rock, Colorado, I'm a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® with an MBA in Finance & Marketing. I combine analytical expertise with empathy and structure - supporting clients navigating, high-net worth, high conflict, and financially imbalanced divorces.
 

Whether you’re dealing with hidden assets, executive compensation, real estate, business ownership, or overall financial uncertainty, I help you move forward with clarity and control.

Because financial clarity is the first step toward securing lasting financial freedom.

The Heart Behind Clarity

MY STORY

After a successful finance career, I found myself in an unexpected chapter - unemployed and searching for what was next. 

​​

During that time, a close friend confided in me as she navigated a difficult, financially controlling  divorce. Her husband, a senior leader at a fast-growing technology company, controlled every dollar. She didn’t even have her own login to their joint accounts.

 

Together, we uncovered hidden assets, built a realistic budget, organized financial records, and created a plan she could confidently move forward with.

 

That experience changed everything.

I realized how many people, even in financially successful households, go through divorce without access to the information, clarity, or support they need to make sound financial decisions.

I founded Clarity Financial Wellness to change that.

Clarity bridges the gap between legal, emotional, and financial guidance. Whether you’re preparing to leave, in the process, or rebuilding after, I provide structure, stability, and strategic insight so you can make smart financial decisions with confidence.
