A financial plan is more than numbers, it’s the roadmap to an ideal life
I think there is more to living your ideal life than just money can provide. I strive to get to know you and the values and ideals that are important to you. We can then align your overall financial strategy toward accomplishing those values, helping you have your ideal life. It’s the most rewarding part of my job!

I love to see small business owners thrive.
My experience as a business owner shaped my worldview regarding finances. I love working with small businesses people and entrepreneurs to support their dreams, reduce their stress, help them achieve financial freedom and thrive. It’s a much-needed partnership when you are growing your business alone.

Helping people keep their eye on the goal of retirement happiness.
Corrections in the market happen regularly and are a natural part of markets. But, that doesn’t mean we always like them when they happen. I enjoy helping clients unpack what the change means in the long and short term, so they feel informed and prepared without relying on confusing media noise and hype.
