Meet Deserae

Leadership experience.
Personal perspective.

I know what it means to lead through complexity—and to have divorce place demands on almost every part of your life.

My background includes technology leadership at Intuit and BILL, guiding teams of 150+ people toward record-breaking goals. I also bring more than eight years of personal experience navigating family-court matters involving custody, support, relocation, and finances.

That experience informs how I listen, organize, and prepare. My role is coaching alongside your licensed professionals.

Before we begin

A few useful answers.

Read all FAQs
Who is this coaching designed for?

Executives, professionals, business owners, and adults navigating a complex divorce or persistent post-separation conflict. All genders are welcome. You do not need a particular net worth; the right fit depends on the support you need.

How is coaching different from working with my attorney?

Your attorney advises you on legal rights, strategy, documents, negotiations, and court proceedings. Coaching helps you organize practical priorities, prepare questions, practice ordinary communication, and follow through between professional appointments.

Can you help me understand stock-based compensation?

Yes, through general education about concepts such as RSUs, options, vesting, and liquidity, plus organization of your compensation records. Recommendations about buying, selling, exercising, taxes, valuation, or marital property division require the appropriate licensed professionals.

Can I work with you if I live outside California?

Nationwide inquiries are welcome. Availability is confirmed before enrollment based on where you are located and the services requested. The California business location does not make California divorce law apply to every client.

Is messaging unlimited?

No. Each offer specifies the number of consolidated requests and total coach time included. Navigation and Career Relaunch responses are within two business days; Private Client responses are by the next business day, excluding announced closures. Extra work needs prior approval.

California roots. A nationwide perspective.

Virtual support, wherever
your next chapter takes you.

Based in San Diego, with nationwide inquiries welcome. Availability is confirmed during intake based on your location and requested services.
