Hi there! My passion and strengths lie in helping people achieve holistic financial well-being and live more meaningfully through personalized, expert financial planning and investment management. In addition to being a CFP® professional, I'm proud to have completed my Master of Science degree in Personal Financial Planning. I am also an Accredited Wealth Management Advisor™ professional, which is a specialized credential in the unique needs of high-net-worth clients, and hold my Accredited Behavioral Finance Professional™ certificate, which is a specialized credential in the the psychology of investor behaviors. Why did I open Lindenwood Financial? I observed a unique set of challenges in the financial services industry: overly complicated investment products, confusing financial terminology, outdated philosophies, and unclear fees. I saw how these obstacles can not only hinder people's financial progress, but cause stress and frustration. So, I envisioned offering a modern, transparent, and simplified but full-service experience to put people at ease and help them reach financial goals they didn't know were possible. Thus, Lindenwood Financial was born. Lindenwood Financial stands out as an independent, fee-only fiduciary financial services firm exclusively dedicated to serving your best interests.
