About Us
What is a financial coach, and why do I need one?
I partner with families who are done living on financial autopilot. We align their spending with who they actually are—not what they think they're supposed to do. When your money reflects your real values, everything clicks and you get to show up for what matters while passing down money skills—not stress—to your kids. I serve locally in the Phoenix/Scottsdale metroplex as well as nationwide.

I have paired my backgrounds of accounting & teaching to assist you in cleaning up the missteps of your past, giving focus to the challenges of your present, & reshaping the vision of your future. Why wait? Let's go!

FAQ
Questions People Ask Before Taking the Leap
- "How is coaching different from all the apps and books I've already tried?"
Apps can't hear you cry after another budget fails. Books can't celebrate with you when you win. I'm a real person who gets what you're going through and walks beside you every step of the way. We tackle not just your numbers, but the feelings behind them.
- "Do I need to be broke or rich to do this?"
Neither! My clients range from people drowning in debt to folks with decent savings who still feel anxious. What they share is being sick and tired of money stress and ready for change. If that's you, this works.
- "How quickly will I feel better about money?"
The relief starts in our very first session. That "finally someone gets it" feeling is immediate. Most clients sleep better within the first week just from having a clear plan. The real-world money improvements follow quickly after that.
- "What if I've tried and failed before?"
Then you're in exactly the right place. Previous "failures" are actually valuable data about what doesn't work for you. We'll use that information to build something that actually sticks this time. Your past struggles become your greatest teachers.
