Do you ever worry that your financial decisions won’t get you where you want to go in life? I can give you the confidence to know that you’re on the right path. I became a financial planner because I wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives. Once I got into the profession, though, I realized that it is hard to make a difference when you are pressured to sell products or enticed by commissions and can only work with people who are already wealthy because of asset minimums. So, I started my own firm. I created Guide Financial Planning so that I could do financial planning my own way— serving everyone I want regardless of net worth in a fee-only, conflict-free environment, from a biblical perspective. If you want financial guidance that aligns with your Christian worldview, you’ve come to the right place. As a Certified Financial Planner™ and Certified Kingdom Advisor®, I can create a financial plan for you, a written document that will work as a map, guiding the way as you navigate this journey called life. If you want, I can also partner together long-term, being there with you every step of the way, guiding you through new situations as they arise and helping you to stay on track. And it doesn’t matter where you live, either. With the help of modern technology, I work with people throughout the US and around the world.

I specialize in guiding high-achieving couples who are taking retirement planning seriously and want a trusted partner to help coordinate the financial life they’ve worked hard to build.

They’re thoughtful, intentional, and committed to creating a life that reflects their values. Most importantly, they’re respectful, supportive partners who want to make decisions together with clarity rather than conflict. My role is to help you make the most of your opportunities, simplify complex financial decisions, and design a retirement path that feels confident and flexible. As a fee-only, fiduciary advisor, I provide unbiased guidance, proactive planning, and an ongoing partnership so you can enjoy life today while building toward the future you envision. If you’re looking for an advisor who understands the nuances of growing wealth and aligning your strategy with your life as a couple, I’d be delighted to support you. We offer two complimentary consultations to ensure a good fit. I look forward to meeting you soon. ***Typical Client*** Household income of $400,000 or more Around $1,000,000 of investments In a marriage built on mutual respect and ready to make financial decisions as a team ***Natalie's Awards and Recognitions*** 2025 Financial Advisor Magazine Young Advisor to Watch Winner (2025) InvestmentNews 40 Under 40 Winner (2023) XYPN Firm Of The Year (2020) Co-Host of the Money Dates podcast Media Mentions: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and CNN
