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.
The debt keeps cycling — paid down, then back up again
— and you can't pinpoint why.
You're trying to save and pay off debt at the same time
But one always cancels out the other.
You finally get some money set aside...
then life happens and you're right back where you started.
You want to save for retirement. For your kids' college.
For something that feels like breathing room.
But instead of moving forward, it feels like you’re constantly adjusting…
Trying to keep everything balanced without a clear plan to hold it together.
If there’s one thing I know to be true…
Your money doesn’t need more restriction → it needs more alignment.
Alignment between what you earn, what you save, what you spend, and what you want your life to look like - now and later.
That’s how a solid financial foundation is built. Not through perfection, but through clarity and intention.
This is how financial confidence grows
And that’s exactly the work we do here, together.
Here’s Where We Start
Financial Foundations Strategy Intensive
A 2-hour Strategy Session to finally see what’s really happening with your money and what to do next.
Together we’ll:
Get clear on where your money is actually going
Identify the gaps keeping you stuck between debt and saving
Create a spending plan that aligns with what matters most
Define an action plan, step-by-step, for the next 90 days
You'll walk away with clarity, not overwhelm. A plan, not a lecture.
Perfect for women and couples over 40 who want clarity now and confidence for the future.
“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.”
