Get started with personalized financial advice


You may have many goals ahead — retirement, education, family events, travel — or may be focused on a single need like saving for a new home. Regardless of where you stand, I look forward to being the advisor who knows what’s important to you, not just the numbers in your portfolio. A financial advisor who understands your goals and broader financial picture. And importantly, a financial advisor who makes it easy to get started.

Advice to help you achieve what’s most important to you

One-to-one financial advice based on your goals and needs

We begin with what's most important to you - from goals that can include retirement or education, to a major purchase like a second home.

How to begin

1. Schedule your complimentary initial consultation

2. Prepare for your consultation

Before we meet, consider these financial questions:
  • What are your most important financial goals right now?
  • What concerns you most about your finances?
  • Did a specific life event or need prompt you to seek advice?
  • How are your investments performing in current market conditions?
  • What are you looking for from a financial advisor? What are you not receiving currently?
To help understand your current financial picture, I may also ask you to bring recent bank and investment statements and insurance policies.
