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.
Each week, you struggle with the decision of what to do with your money and then second-guess it afterward.
You make a good income. You know you’re responsible.
And yet shame and guilt quietly creep in, whispering,
“You should be better at this.”
You keep moving forward best you can, but find you keep adjusting…
Shifting money around.
Trying to keep everything balanced.
Hoping it all holds together without a clear plan to support it.
You’re tired. Tired of the constant worry. Tired of wondering if you’re making the right moves.
What you need are clear priorities and a plan you trust, so you can replace your doubt with confident decisions about what to do next.
Because here’s the truth:
Your money doesn’t need more rules → It needs a clear purpose for every dollar
When your spending and saving goals are working together instead of competing for attention, you stop managing money by guilt and start managing it with intention.
That’s how a solid financial foundation is built. Not through discipline alone, but through direction.
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.

Identify the gaps keeping you stuck between debt and saving

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.”
