Financial therapy found me before I ever found the field. While earning my master’s degree, I worked in banking—thinking that being around money would help me learn how to manage it. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d learn about people. I saw firsthand how money carries pressure, silence, and stories.

That’s where I learned to speak the language of money—not just in numbers, but in emotion, behavior, and communication. And in the middle of trying to figure out how to provide for myself and support the people I love, I realized something: generational wealth starts with generational conversations.

To build it, we have to talk about it—honestly. I’ve had to acknowledge, let go of, and redefine my own money story—what I was taught, what I inherited, and what no longer fits the life I’m building. That’s why I help others do the same: to replace avoidance with understanding, pressure with strategy, and consumption with clarity.

My work blends money, food, and everyday life—because how we spend, eat, and show up under pressure all come from the same place. Together, we build systems that make sense for you—so wealth isn’t just about what you earn, but how well you live.
