Clarity.
Confidence.
Control.

If you’re facing a financial question or decision and aren’t sure what matters most or what to do next, I help you find clarity on the tradeoffs, priorities, and next steps that fit your situation.

Based in Philadelphia, PA, I provide financial coaching to individual clients locally and across the U.S., with sessions available virtually and selectively in person.

Financial coaching can help when:

  • You’re not sure how the pieces of your financial picture fit together.

  • You may be doing many of the right things but still feel unsure about what to do with money left over each month or cash you have accumulated.

  • You’re balancing saving, investing, paying down debt, a major purchase, or other goals and aren’t sure what should come first.

  • A major life or career change has created new financial questions or competing priorities.

  • You and your spouse want a clearer shared financial picture, priorities, and plan.

Topics may include: cash flow, saving, debt, investing, major financial decisions, and life and career transitions.

A straightforward coaching model
You pay a flat fee for financial coaching. I do not sell financial products, earn commissions, or manage investments.

For organizations
I also partner with organizations to provide practical, decision-focused financial education workshops for their students, trainees, employees, or members.

What's Included

Financial coaching is more than just a 60-minute session. The goal is to help you step back, understand what is actually going on with your money, and leave with practical next steps that fit your situation.

The comprehensive initial coaching engagement is $300 and includes preparation beforehand, a 60-minute one-on-one session, and a written follow-up afterward.

Prior to the Session
Before we meet, I review your intake form, including your questions, goals, and financial picture, so I can understand your situation and prepare thoughtfully.

  • Identify the topics, decisions, and tradeoffs that are most relevant to you

  • Begin thinking through possible priorities and next steps

  • Select relevant frameworks, worksheets, or materials that may help make the session more practical and useful

During the Session
We work through the financial questions, decisions, tradeoffs, and priorities that matter most.

  • Organize the key pieces of your financial picture

  • Clarify tradeoffs among competing priorities such as saving, investing, debt, housing, career transitions, and family goals

  • Identify the priorities and practical next steps that fit your situation

After the Session
You receive a written follow-up so you have a clear record of what we discussed and a practical path for what to do next.

  • Key takeaways and priorities from the conversation

  • Specific action items and next steps

  • Relevant worksheets, frameworks, or other materials used during the session, when helpful

Financial Education Workshops

I partner with universities, research institutions, medical training programs, professional associations, and other organizations to deliver practical financial education workshops directly to their students, trainees, employees, or members.The goal is not simply to provide more financial information. It is to give participants practical frameworks for thinking through financial questions and decisions when priorities compete and circumstances differ.Sessions can be tailored to the audience’s needs and the organization’s goals, and delivered in person or virtually.
