Frequently Asked Questions
About Financial Coaching
What is a Financial Coach?
A Financial Coach is like a personal trainer for your money. I help identify where you are with your money and where you want to be and help you get there. I work with your mindset and beliefs around money and help you develop skills that significantly impact your financial outcomes, such as the ability to say, 'No. I'm not a bookkeeper, nor do I sell insurance or investments. I give you the tools to manage your spending, saving, investing, and debt repayment. Then I support and encourage you on your journey and help you course-correct when needed.

What are the benefits of having a Financial Coach?
A Financial Coach can give you the financial education you didn't have growing up. They can uncover hidden money beliefs that are no longer serving you and help you replace them with more constructive beliefs. . A Financial Coach can help you identify your values and align your spending to them. They can identify the challenges that are having the biggest negative impact on your finances, such as the inability to say, No', or the lack of communication with your partner. Financial Coaches can help you make sense of your finances and tame your spending. They can speed up your saving, investing, and debt repayment goals. A Financial Coach can be your accountability partner to keep you on track with your money goals.

You start by booking a complimentary 20-minute Introductory Call with me here. The purpose of the call is for me to get a sense of your finances and financial challenges. Then, we'll decide if my coaching services are a good fit for your needs.
What are your fees?

How do I help women with their personal finances?
I help women by bringing awareness to the thoughts, beliefs, actions, and habits around money that no longer serve them and replace them with ones that do. I don't judge my clients. I meet them where they're at and help get them where they want to be with their finances.
Why do I offer financial coaching to women, specifically?
For too long, the financial world excluded women. I want to coach women to be self-sufficient and confident with their money. I want to help close the gender wealth gap in the United States. When women manage money, they do it better and to the benefit of more people. And, when women have financial autonomy, they have the ability to leave situations that aren't good for them.
What makes me a good Financial Coach?
I understand that financial success isn't about the numbers. It's about your thoughts, feelings, emotions, habits, and behaviors around money. Many people can help you put together a budget, but you won't use it if you feel shame about money. I also tailor my coaching to what works for you to increase your success in managing your money.
