About Lydia



A little bit about me


Hi, I’m Lydia. For nearly a decade I’ve helped clients pursue clarity and confidence with their finances. I’m also a mom, farmer, business owner, aspiring organist, and Habitat for Humanity volunteer. Many titles change over time, but my identity in Christ is constant—and it informs a practice built on empathy, honesty, and practical next steps.


Growing up and working in a rural community—and walking through seasons of child loss and divorce—shapes how I show up for clients. I’m especially equipped to serve women navigating loss and farm & rural families. Together, we’ll align your plan to your goals and values so you can move forward with peace of mind.



What I can offer

As a financial advisor with Brick Street Financial Group – Thrivent, I help clients create plans that reflect their goals and values. My approach is rooted in listening first, then guiding you through options so you can make confident decisions for today—and tomorrow.


Who I Serve

  • Women navigating major life changes such as child loss or the loss of a spouse
  • Farmers and rural families with unique financial circumstances and legacy goals


How I Help

  • Comprehensive planning across six key areas: cash flow, protection, accumulation, distribution, estate, and tax strategies
  • Values-based guidance that honors what matters most to you
  • Flexible meeting options—in person at our Washington, KS office or virtually via Zoom or phone


Why Work With Me


I bring nearly two decades of combined professional experience and partner with a nationwide team of advisors to offer a wealth of knowledge and solutions. Together, we’ll build a plan that helps you live the life you want today—and prepare for tomorrow.

Some of the most important conversations are also the hardest to start.​ Talking about what would happen to your loved ones' finances if the unthinkable happened isn't easy. But making space for the conversation today can bring clarity and reassurance for the future.​ This resource offers thoughtful questions to start the conversation about life insurance with your family: https://bit.ly/4wHcwH8

I've found that many people spend years preparing financially for retirement, but very little time understanding Medicare. The rules can be confusing, deadlines matter, and the choices aren't always straightforward. Taking time to review your options before enrollment can help ensure your healthcare coverage supports the retirement lifestyle you want. #FinancialPlanning #HealthcarePlanning #Medicare Medicare reviews are available by appointment. No products will be sold at this event or meeting. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.
