Helping Couples and Individuals Turn Money Conflict Into Connection
Money can be one of the biggest sources of tension in a relationship. I work with couples to turn those stressful conversations about spending, saving, or debt into opportunities for deeper connection and understanding. My focus is on helping you and your partner find healthier ways to talk about money, reduce conflict, and feel more supported as a team.
​
I also work with individuals who feel weighed down by money stress—whether it shows up as anxiety, avoidance, or patterns that never seem to change. Together, we’ll uncover the money stories that shape your decisions, explore new perspectives, and create healthier financial habits. My goal is to help you approach money with greater clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

My Approach
​
I specialize in helping couples—and individuals—navigate the financial challenges and opportunities that arise throughout life. For couples, this often means finding common ground on a family budget, managing debt together, preparing for retirement, or simply reducing the stress that money can place on a relationship. For individuals, it may mean creating clarity, confidence, and peace of mind about your finances.
​
My approach is holistic. I draw on my training as a Licensed Social Worker, Certified Financial Therapist, and Certified Financial Social Worker, along with the wisdom gained from years of professional and personal experience. I understand that money is never just about dollars and cents—it is tied to emotions, identity, and life’s pivotal moments.
​
In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to talk openly about your concerns, your values, and your goals. Together, we’ll explore your unique relationship with money and create practical, sustainable strategies that honor what matters most to you.
​
When working with couples, I provide an opportunity to understand not only how each partner approaches money, but also how to move forward as a team. Many couples find that for the first time in their relationship, they can talk about money in a way that builds trust, reduces conflict, and strengthens their connection.
