Helping you live your best life.

I believe the starting point of any financial conversation should be with you—your life, your family, your priorities, and your goals. I'll listen to what's important to you and design a financial plan from multiple strategies specifically designed to help get you where you want to be.

Domestic Partnership Financial Issues

If you're in a long-term relationship, you and your partner or significant other likely have shared goals and fiscal responsibilities. Yet, unmarried couples don't have the same benefits and legal protections automatically granted to married spouses.

I understand the financial hurdles that domestic partners face from interwoven finances and joint assets to fewer rights for federal, state and employer benefits. Along with legal and tax professionals, I can help you protect what you value most and recommend solutions to bridge the gaps and meet your long-term financial goals.
