Together, we co-create a plan—one that reflects your values, your goals, and your unique life story.

🔹 CeFT® – Certified Financial Transitionist designation: A structured, repeatable process for managing the emotional and cognitive challenges of transition; tools to help you gain clarity, reduce overwhelm, and make confident decisions; as well as deep listening and guidance tailored to your pace and personal experience

🔹 CLU® – Chartered Life Underwriter: equipping me with advanced expertise in tax-efficient strategies, insurance solutions, and estate planning to help protect and preserve your legacy
Life isn’t just about numbers—it’s about navigating change. Whether you’re:
• Selling a business you’ve built from the ground up,
• Receiving a life-changing inheritance,
• Retiring and stepping into a new chapter,
• Or navigating the profound transition of losing a spouse or partner
These are just a few of the major life transitions requiring thoughtful, human-centered financial guidance that can make all the difference.
Let’s talk if you or someone you care about is facing a major life transition and want to ensure your values are considered.
I bring my clients peace of mind by taking them through the financial planning process to establish the lifestyle they want to have in retirement. I work with the client to implement a strategy that will allow them to reach their financial goals.
Financial Planning is more than a career; it’s a passion. I continually introduce members to the strategies and investment products that will help you achieve your financial plan.
I provided financial planning and wealth management advice specifically tailored to personal and professional needs and priorities. I work with you to help develop clear objectives and achievable goals, while delivering the peace of mind you and your family are looking for.
I have over twenty years of working in the field of socially responsible investing. Working closely together with my clients, I build custom portfolios based on the social and environmental values that they wish to incorporate into their overall investment strategy. I have previously served on the RIA board for nine years and was President and Chair for over three years. There has been tremendous growth in this area lately and there are many more options to choose from ..not all choices are the same. I look forward to working with new clients to achieve their financial goals and dreams through responsible investing.
I bring my clients peace of mind by creating a clear, actionable strategy that allows them to meet their goals.
Whether our goals are accumulating wealth, or drawing a retirement income from life savings, I help navigate the complexities of the financial world, and the unpredictability of all stages of life.
There are many financial decisions to make throughout your life. I help my clients make the right ones.
