Financial Consultant
.Divorce Planning
I am a holistic financial consultant with expertise in wealth management, insurance, retirement planning and divorce financial planning. I enjoy learning about the needs of the families and individual clients I help. I know that my time with a client is far more impactful if I understand what my clients’ lives are like. I became a Certified Financial Planner professional because I wanted to go to work knowing that what I did could positively impact someone’s life; something that would always challenge me to grow. I love that my financial planning business is about more than money. It’s about relationships with clients like you that I can cherish for years to come. I understand that life is about the things that bring you joy and doing more with what you have. No matter what your financial goals are, I will build a financial plan around the things that you care about.
