As your Financial Advisor, my goal is to help you feel less stressed and more confident with your financial life and staying on track to achieve your goals. I've learned a lot since 1987 when I started my career. I have lived through the 1986 Crash, 1993-94 recession, the Dot.Com bust of 2000, 9/11, the 2008 Financial Crisis and now a worldwide Covid-19 health crisis in 2020. Thats a lot of knowledge to absorb but that is also one advantage of getting older. Its essential that we start with a plan to help you organize, consolidate and automate your financial life. Im here to help you with planned or sudden changes in your life. Im a CDFA - Certified Divorce Financial Analyst to better help those who have become suddenly single. I have taken the Collaborative law basic and advanced training which helps me give you a better understanding of the full financial picture and help you navigate these stressful times. Some of the ways I help clients are by navigating key times in their lives: Life Events: Divorce, Death, Job Changes Pre-marital Planning Planning Estate and pre-retirement planning strategies Education Planning for College and wealth transfers Ive resided in the DFW area since 1978.
