Marcia came to the field of Divorce Financial Planning after a career in Clinical Psychology. She completed a B.A. and M.A. and most of her doctoral studies in Psychology at the University of Chicago. After working for many years as a school and clinical psychologist, in 1988 she returned to school to obtain an MBA in accounting and finance in order to make the shift into a financial planning practice. She also completed work for the Certified Financial Planner and Certified Public Accountant credentials in 1990. In 1997 she received the Certified Divorce Planner designation (now Certified Divorce Financial Analyst) and also underwent training in Divorce Mediation. She now concentrates her practice on people going through divorce and the many financial decisions which will impact their life after divorce.
