The Heart of Clarity Wealth Group
More Than Financial Advice — A Relationship That Grows With You
At Clarity Wealth Group, we believe people and communities thrive when they make the most of what they've been given. Our mission is to provide financial clarity that empowers lives of meaning, gratitude, and generosity — guided by values, transparency, and a commitment to lifelong partnerships.
Our Principles & Culture Protectors:
- Values + Finance — Money is a tool, not the goal.
- Generosity in Action — Inspire and amplify giving.
- Transparency — Clear, simple, and honest at every step.
- Client-First Service — Every decision is guided by what's best for our members.
- Growth, Together — Invested in our clients, our team, and our community.
As you work with us, you’ll get to know our entire team — whether through planning meetings, implementing strategies, attending community events, leading Thrivent Action Teams, or simply reaching out with questions.
We offer thoughtful guidance in areas like protection planning, investments, and retirement — always grounded in what matters most to you. Because we believe money is a tool, not the destination, we help you align your finances with purpose, generosity, and long-term relationships.

Generosity in Action
Generosity Is at the Heart of Who We Are
Through Thrivent Action Teams, Choice Dollars®, and partnerships with local nonprofits, we help our members turn purpose into impact. Every plan we build is also an opportunity to strengthen families, churches, and communities.
Our team is honored to serve beyond the office, donating our time and leadership through board positions and active involvement in local nonprofits and the community. We proudly serve in the following roles:
- Board Member, Lakewood Connects
- Board Member, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church
- Board Member, Zuma's Rescue Ranch
- Active Members, Impact Thrivent Community
Each year, we aim to organize 300 Thrivent Action Teams, generating over $75,000 in community benefit. These teams support a wide range of local nonprofits and public service departments, helping to meet real needs and create lasting change.
To inspire and equip our clients to get involved, we publish a quarterly Generosity Update — a resource filled with ideas and opportunities to serve others and make a difference. Together, we believe financial guidance is more than numbers — it’s about using our resources to uplift others and strengthen the communities we call home.
