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 valuable financial planning knowledge. I learned principles of money and investing that I had never been taught when I was growing up. Now I enjoy passing on that knowledge and education to my clients.
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’ve made it my life’s work to learn and understand the optimal ways to invest and plan for the future. Caring for my clients is a passion. It brings me great satisfaction to guide clients toward a successful and efficient financial life.
1
LISTEN
Learn about what is important to you and your family. Understand your values, lifestyle and goals. Set up you and your family for holistic long-term success by creating a customized, dynamic plan that will grow with you throughout your life.
2
EDUCATE, ADVISE
AND COACH
Regularly counsel and educate you regarding financial planning topics and strategic actions you can take as various changes occur, such as market, economic, financial, estate, tax or life changes, to capitalize on opportunities to build wealth and provide security to you and your family.

GROW, GUIDE
AND THRIVE
As you grow and navigate life’s inevitable transitions, market volatility and economic uncertainty, we will serve as your guide and offer support as you continue to build on your strong foundation.
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.
