Many of my clients are hard workers and high earners who have saved diligently, spent conservatively, and are now looking for someone who can help them transform what they have into their desired retirement lifestyle. People often come to me about five to 15 years out from retirement, but others have reached out for assistance during a divorce, after receiving an inheritance, during the sale of their business, or in the face of another major financial event or windfall. It is also common that I am asked to take the lead in coordinating with their other professionals, including CPAs and estate attorneys.
My father was a financial advisor who introduced to the impact proactive planning can have on people’s lives at a very early age. At the same time, I also watched my mother struggle to make the right, forward-focused decisions after divorce—which ultimately led her to a life of financial insecurity. Forever moved by the sacrifices she made for us, I want to honor her by helping others avoid some of the mistakes she made. Now as a passionate financial professional myself, I strive to help others make sound financial decisions that expertly balance their priorities today and their future needs.
I enjoy working with my clients to help make their financial goals a reality and their lives less stressful. I want to be viewed as their partner when making any financial decision.
