A legal mind. An individual perspective.

THE PROFESSIONAL

Christina is an Illinois licensed attorney and family law mediator with a Master of Laws in International Commercial Law and Dispute Resolution from London, England. She has also completed specialized divorce coaching training through the CDC certification program, bringing together legal education, mediation experience, and formal coaching preparation.

Her professional background spans family law, international commercial law, dispute resolution, and more than a decade of managing a professional practice. These experiences have shaped her appreciation for strategic thinking, careful preparation, effective communication, and the importance of approaching complex circumstances with both objectivity and sensitivity.

Christina's involvement in divorce coaching predates the formal establishment of Clear Mind Divorce. For some time, she has worked privately with a select number of individuals, providing personalized guidance through the personal and practical challenges surrounding separation and divorce.

Rather than building a large client base, she deliberately maintained a limited number of coaching relationships, allowing her to provide individualized attention while balancing her other professional and personal commitments.

Clear Mind Divorce represents a natural evolution of that work.

With the opportunity to devote more of her professional time to coaching, Christina has established a dedicated practice built around the same principles that have guided her previous engagements: discretion, personal involvement, thoughtful preparation, and a genuine commitment to the individuals she serves.

Her background in law and mediation provides an informed perspective on the complexities surrounding divorce, while her specialized coaching training supports her work with clients navigating the personal, practical, and emotional decisions that accompany the process.

She believes that meaningful coaching is not about telling someone what to do. It is about helping them ask better questions, recognize their priorities, consider different perspectives, and approach difficult decisions with greater clarity and intention.

Clear Mind Divorce remains intentionally small, with no more than 20 active clients at any given time.

The practice has grown in purpose and structure, but its philosophy remains unchanged: meaningful guidance requires meaningful attention.

BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL

Outside her professional life, Christina is first and foremost a mother of three teenagers, two of whom attend Culver Academies, where she is actively involved in the school community and parent initiatives.

Family and education hold a particularly important place in her life. She values spending time with her children, supporting their individual interests, and remaining actively engaged in the experiences and communities that shape their lives.

An avid runner, Christina participates in marathons and considers physical activity an important part of her lifestyle. She enjoys hiking, kayaking, and outdoor adventures, embracing opportunities to challenge herself, explore new environments, and spend time in nature.

Travel is another significant part of her life. Having spent part of her childhood abroad and maintaining connections throughout the world, she enjoys discovering new places, experiencing different cultures, and building meaningful relationships across geographical boundaries.

She also has a deep appreciation for the arts, particularly opera, ballet, and the cultural experiences that offer new perspectives and a deeper understanding of the world.

For Christina, these interests are not simply ways to spend her time. They reflect a belief in remaining curious, engaged, and open to new experiences while maintaining a strong connection to the people and values that matter most.

WHERE THE TWO MEET

Christina understands that the decisions people face during divorce rarely exist in isolation.

They affect families, children, relationships, personal identities, and the lives individuals have spent years building.

As both an attorney and a mother, she recognizes the importance of approaching significant life changes with an understanding of the responsibilities, relationships, and priorities that make each person's circumstances uniquely their own.

Her professional experience has taught her the value of preparation, thoughtful strategy, and measured decision making. Her personal experiences have reinforced the importance of perspective, adaptability, and recognizing that life continues to evolve beyond even its most difficult chapters.

Together, these perspectives form the foundation of Clear Mind Divorce.

Christina's approach is thoughtful, direct, compassionate, and grounded in a genuine respect for the individuality of every client.

Because behind every divorce is a person whose life is far more complex, meaningful, and important than the process itself.
