About Lydia



A little bit about me


Hi I'm Lydia. I've been a financial advisor for almost 10 years. Some of the other titles I hold are mom, farmer, business owner, an aspiring organist, and a Habitat for Humanity volunteer. A lot of these "titles" can be taken away from me, but my identity in Christ is one thing that can never be taken from me and I'm so thankful for that truth.


My approach to my work is framed by my personal experiences of living and working in a rural community as well as experiencing child loss and divorce. I am an authentic and caring partner to my clients, a safe space to navigate the unknown and the challenges life brings, while making a plan for future success and prosperity. I thank God for guiding me along my life and cherish the clients I have been able to help.




What I can offer


As a financial advisor with Brick Street Financial Group-Thrivent, I help clients on their unique financial journey.


I'm passionate about bringing financial clarity to two unique subsets of clients:


1) Women navigating life's challenges (child loss, or loss of spouse)

2) Farmers and clients in rural communities


I'm here to help you make informed decisions that support your goals and honor your values. I bring 18 years of professional experience to my clients. I'm also proud to partner with a team of financial advisors across the country bringing a wealth of knowledge to the conversation, offering the best solutions to our clients.


I hope to be the resource for you as you navigate the blessings and challenges life brings.
