About

Julia brings over two decades of experience as an Entrepreneur, Professional Coach, & award-winning Wealth Advisor to DivorciFi. Throughout her career she’s helped hundreds of clients navigate all types of business and life transitions.

 

DivorciFi was founded after many years of countless individuals and clients expressing that they wished they would have met Julia before they got divorced. Providing only post-divorce coaching and asset management services no longer felt adequate. With the understanding that divorce can be one of the most stressful and challenging times of a person’s life, Julia made the decision to obtain additional specialized training in the field of divorce financial planning so she could better support her clients through all stages of the divorce process and help them reach agreement and obtain fair and equitable settlements in a more efficient, respectful, and affordable manner.

​

Julia specializes in innovative dispute resolution. Using the Insight Approach to conflict, she provides creative settlement solutions within mediation, co-mediation and collaborative containers that enable individuals and couples to experience an empowering divorce process which is more compassionate, respectful, and affordable than traditional divorce. She offers her expertise as a financial neutral or advocate to remove any financial uncertainties and facilitate more productive conversations to reach a fair and equitable settlement in a shorter amount of time. She also helps couples who want to stay together forever to design positive and future-focused Relationship Agreements to work out the financial complexities of their life together.

 

Julia is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®), Certified Divorce Mediator, Certified Virtual Coach, and is trained in Collaborative Divorce. She is a series 65 licensed wealth advisor, Realtor® and Life Insurance Agent. Julia provides comprehensive fee-only financial planning and investment management services through her firm, RockStar Financial, and mentorship and coaching through her company, She Flies with Her Own Wings, in addition to her role as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Mediator and founder of DivorciFi.

 

She serves as the current Alum Board Financial Coordinator for her University Sorority, Alpha Xi Omicron, which she re-founded with 5 other women during her freshman year of college. She is also a member of the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts (IDFA), the International Association of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), and also serves as a board member and President Elect of Collaborative Divorce Solutions of Orange County (CDSOC).

In her free time, Julia loves spending quality time with her husband & business partner Matthew, (both of whom are children of divorce), and their Maltese puppy, Joy.
