It’s time we all start talking about our finances — both what we know AND what we don’t know. That’s how we get clarity.

EXPLOREWhy I Became a Financial Advisor
When I entered the world of holistic financial planning serendipitously in 2004, I found mentors who gave me the opportunity to gain newfound financial knowledge. I learned principles of money and investing that I had never been taught when I was growing up. That is what led me to my career as a financial advisor.
True professionals look at the whole financial picture — values, wishes, goals, personality, family and history — to help clients navigate with the long term in mind. I tell clients my personal story as an example of how it is possible to confront financial challenges and take control of their money and finances. It brings me great satisfaction to guide clients toward a successful and efficient financial life.

WHY YOU SHOULD
TAKE RISK
We discuss what risk means when it comes to money and investments and how risk relates to the benefits of diversification.
2
PROTECTING YOURSELF
AND YOUR FAMILY
We talk through various financial topics such as how to pay for education for children or grandchildren and saving for future healthcare expenses with periodic reviews of where your money goes.

WAYS TO
TAKE CONTROL
We work together to build a wealth plan starting with three essentials: a plan for saving, a comprehensive estate plan and an emergency fund.
MY FOCUS
Infinite Possibilities
Unlike a simple math equation, financial planning for individuals and couples can have infinite possibilities. I excel at efficiently finding answers built for the long term by incorporating many variables, both concrete and abstract.
I do this by really getting to know clients and developing an understanding of their entire financial life. Then, we solve the puzzle together.
We develop a relationship for life, and by having that strong connection, I am able to help them effectively navigate any changes that come their way with grace.
