About
Your plan, built around your goals. No commissions. No AUM fees. No product sales.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, my work starts with understanding what you want your money to do and why that outcome carries weight in your life. From there I design a plan built for your situation.
I practice advice-only, fee-only planning at a flat fee stated before we begin. Your accounts stay where your accounts are currently, and I only advise new accounts if necessary.
Planning reaches past investments. I coordinate the parts of your financial life that usually sit with separate professionals:
cash flow,
retirement,
taxes,
insurance,
estate documents,
and real estate
So one person is finally looking at the whole picture. Whether retirement is twenty years out or already underway, the advice adapts as your life changes.
My planning approach
Financial planning is continuous and collaborative. I have the heart of a teacher, and a plan no one understands is a plan no one follows. Your plan should be clear, actionable, and built for your priorities.
My process
Clarify your vision: your values, your goals, and what you want the next chapter to hold.
Design the plan: tailored to your situation.
Implement: we put the plan into action together.
Review and refine: regular reviews keep the plan aligned as life changes.
Areas of focus
Retirement planning · Cash flow and savings strategy · Tax planning (but not tax preparation/filing) · Education funding · Insurance and risk review · Estate planning coordination · Real estate decisions · Charitable giving
Complimentary introduction meeting
Plan for an hour, sometimes ninety minutes. We cover what you want to achieve and why, where I can add value, and whether working together makes sense. No obligation either way.
Customers rated this pro highly for professionalism, responsiveness, and work quality.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a complimentary consultation to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. We’ll discuss your financial goals, current situation, and how I can help. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions about my firm and approach to financial planning.
I operate as a fee-only financial planner with transparent pricing. The fees are for comprehensive planning, and/or ongoing financial planning.
I also collaborate with you on a flat or hourly rate based on the complexity of your needs. During the initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of all fees so you know the costs before committing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In our complimentary consultation, we’ll discuss your financial goals, current situation, and how we can help. You’ll get an overview of our services, fee structure, and answers to any questions. This meeting is about determining if we’re a good fit, with no obligation to proceed. Feel free to bring any documents or questions to make the most of our time together.

I am a CFP® and have a MBA with a concentration in finance.
