Money Coach and Retirement Strategist for GenXers

Helping you create a spending plan aligned with your financial goals and dreams

Your goals are personal. Your money plan should be too.

Start Here

Each week, you struggle with the decision of what to do with your money and then second-guess it afterward.

You make a good income. You know you’re responsible.

And yet shame and guilt quietly creep in, whispering,

“You should be better at this.”

You keep moving forward best you can, but find you keep adjusting…

Shifting money around.
Trying to keep everything balanced.
Hoping it all holds together without a clear plan to support it.

You’re tired. Tired of the constant worry. Tired of wondering if you’re making the right moves.

What you need are clear priorities and a plan you trust, so you can replace your doubt with confident decisions about what to do next.

Because here’s the truth:

Your money doesn’t need more rules → It needs a clear purpose for every dollar

When your spending and saving goals are working together instead of competing for attention, you stop managing money by guilt and start managing it with intention.

That’s how a solid financial foundation is built. Not through discipline alone, but through direction.

This is how financial confidence grows

And that’s exactly the work we do here, together.

Before you build systems, adjust spending, or make big retirement decisions…

Introducing the

Map Your Money Workshop

A 2-hour interactive workshop to see what’s really happening with your money and what you should do next.

Identify the patterns that create stress and confusion
See where every dollar goes and your real monthly savings
Learn which areas to focus on first to build control, security, and flexibility
Preview your path to retirement: See how strong daily foundations support long-term goals

You'll leave with clarity on where your money is actually going, an understanding of the system that makes it manageable, and a peek at what becomes possible once the foundation is solid.

“So glad I did my work up with you!! I went from paycheck-to-paycheck and making minimum payments on my credit cards to paying off $5k of debt and saving $2500 in 3 months! It makes me happy to open my spreadsheet and see my progress! And it’s definitely helped me curb my non-essential junk spending.”
