Holistic Financial Planning

Retiring well takes more than a portfolio. I help you coordinate every piece of your financial life into a single plan — so nothing falls through the cracks in the five years before retirement or the thirty years after.

  • Retirement Readiness Assessment


    Built by a CFP® specializing in retirement income planning, this assessment helps you determine whether you’re on track to retire within the next five years.

    Are you on track for retirement?
  • Build a low-cost, diversified portfolio designed around your retirement income needs

  • Right-size your investment risk so market swings don't derail your plan

  • Establish a clear investment strategy and target asset allocation you can stick with

  • Coordinate investments across taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts for tax efficiency

  • Rebalance on a disciplined schedule to manage risk as markets move

  • Monitor performance and keep your portfolio aligned with your plan

  • Evaluate rental property and other real estate opportunities

  • Review every policy you own: life, disability, health, home, auto, and long-term care. I don't sell insurance or earn commissions, so my only incentive is recommending what's truly best for you

  • Ensure your will, trust, and powers of attorney reflect your current wishes, or help you put them in place for the first time

  • Think through the big decisions together: executors, trustees, guardians, trust provisions for children, and estate taxes

  • Connect you with vetted estate attorneys and insurance specialists when deeper expertise is needed

  • Decide when to claim Social Security — and coordinate spousal benefits — to maximize your lifetime income

  • Time Medicare enrollment correctly so you avoid late-enrollment penalties and coverage gaps

  • Manage your retirement income to reduce IRMAA surcharges on your Medicare premiums

  • Coordinate Social Security timing with withdrawals and Roth conversions so your benefits aren't taxed more than necessary

  • Bridge health insurance coverage if you retire before age 65

  • Model your claiming options side by side so you see the dollar impact of each choice before you decide

  • Look for opportunities to reduce your lifetime tax bill, not just this year's

  • Work alongside your CPA so tax planning and tax filing stay in sync

  • Sequence withdrawals, Roth conversions, and Social Security timing to keep you in lower tax brackets

  • Make full use of tax-advantaged accounts such as IRAs, Roth IRAs, HSAs, and small-business retirement plans
