Financial Planning Services
Who We Serve
Whether you're early in your career or close to retirement, if you're looking to make sure you won't run out of money in retirement, we can help.
If you've inherited assets and want to make the most out of them, while respecting the wishes of those who have passed, we can help.
If you're not sure you can continue to afford the home you're in after you stop working, or if you might be better off freeing up equity to use toward retirement expenses, or if you might be better off paying off your mortgage early, we can help.
We can help provide a second opinion, and partner with you to be a sounding board for understanding the choices you face. We can help coach you through the ups and downs, guided by the financial planning roadmap we develop to help you make educated decisions about your finances.
As a Certified Financial Planner® professional in Walnut Creek, CA, I actively listen to my clients to develop customized comprehensive financial planning strategies that help address client goals according to their vision and objectives. Then I help clients implement those strategies based on their feedback and implemented on their timeline. As an independent financial consultant, I offer clients a wide assortment of non-proprietary investment products and services that have passed our due diligence requirements and can meet your needs and comfort level. As a Fiduciary, dedicated to acting in your best interest, I follow the processes outlined for financial planning by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board).
