I’m a financial counselor and an educator by training. For more than 30 years I have helped people build financial capability and resilience. Married to a former National Guardsman and the mother of two active service members, I have particular insight into the financial challenges that military families often face. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse cross-section of people and have helped them navigate an equally wide range of financial challenges. From basic budgeting and money management, to helping those recovering from gambling problems, addiction, or other adversity, I’m dedicated to guiding individuals to a more satisfying financial future. Empathy, understanding, and nonjudgmental listening are hallmarks of my ability to connect with clients and provide them with the resources they need to build financial stability and durability.
