Above all, I value honesty, thoughtfulness and transparency in every thing I do. When I work with clients, I ask them to open up and share with me their hopes and dreams and the concerns that keep them awake at night. I use plain English instead of confusing financial jargon. Together, we craft a financial plan that is grounded in reality and yet gives them the freedom to say “yes” to themselves.
