Advisor profile


My approach

I believe that financial planning should be a healing modality, reestablishing and finding peace in one’s relationship with wealth.

When done right, working with money should be a stress reducing process that allows clients to feel the sense of peace and calm that comes along with knowing their finances are in order and they are making well-informed decisions.

I believe in the power of Socially Responsible Investing and the profound effect investing with your values can have on your finances and the world.

I take pride in my ability to ask the right questions, listening closely to your answers to make sure you feel confident that the advice I provide best reflects your unique dreams, values, and goals.

  1. Investors could experience increased risk when limiting investment choices to a specific industry sector that may or may not perform as well as other industry sectors. Investment products, including shares of mutual funds, are not federally or FDIC-insured, are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by any financial institution, and involve investment risks including possible loss of principal and fluctuation in value.

Interests

The best places on earth are the beaches...for walking while listening to Bruce Springsteen, reading books, or just being with family and friends. Each year I try to find time for a spiritual retreat and in 2021, I became a certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher.

I believe in giving back to the communities to which I belong and enjoy serving on boards and mentoring younger advisors. Mostly, I love spending time with my adult children and watching them be the amazing people I am so proud they have become.
