Fee-Only Financial Planning for a Life That Works

Many of us have the same questions about our finances: How do I get smarter about our money? Do we have a path to a second home? What’s after retirement? If my husband retires first, how long do I need to keep working? What’s the smartest investment strategy for us? Are we going to be okay?

I help my clients learn that money is here to support and serve them. This process helps you gain what I call "financial confidence."

All of my clients are educated, aware, and savvy. Many could do their own financial plan. Maybe manage their own investments. But there’s family, work, and travel. Volunteer work. Grandchildren, or music practice. Not everyone loves the paperwork. And how many of us want even more responsibility?

Understanding what you want to accomplish can be hard to figure out on your own. I believe it's more enlightening to explore your aspirations with a knowledgeable partner. Someone that will help you think creatively about where you want to go.

As your financial planner, I’ll always take you seriously, but expect a light touch. You’ll learn what to watch closely, and what you can ignore. I’ll show you what you can control, and what you can’t. We’ll work on organization, and we will set priorities. I’ll help you build greater financial confidence and keep you focused—with absolute clarity about what matters.

These principles form the basis of my approach.
