I’m a CFP® (fiduciary financial advisor) and CDFA® who helps busy professionals, pre‑retirees, and retirees simplify complex financial lives. My work focuses on tax‑savvy wealth management, including equity compensation strategies and retirement income planning, so clients can grow and use their wealth in ways that support the life they want to build. I pay close attention to how career decisions, benefits, and family responsibilities intersect, especially for clients balancing their own retirement goals with support for aging parents or children. Clients often come to me with multiple accounts, company stock, and big questions about “what’s next,” and we work together to create a clear plan, regular check‑ins, and a decision‑making framework that feels calm, collaborative, and easy to maintain.
