Financial Counseling Education

Personal Financial Counseling is the ability to understand and effectively apply various financial skills, including personal financial management, budgeting, and investing. Financial Counseling helps individuals become self-sufficient so that they can achieve financial stability.

Financial Empowerment


"The widespread deficit in financial literacy has raised much concern among government agencies, policymakers, and leaders in the community and business sectors. There are several reasons for this concern. First, the number and complexity of available financial products have increased dramatically in the past two decades, effectively transferring a higher financial responsibility and risk burden to the consumer." -National Financial Capability Strategy 

Building A Personal Financial Foundation


Personal financial counseling, coaching, and financial education help people acquire the knowledge and behaviors they need to make informed, qualified financial decisions about their money.

Personal Financial Counseling and Financial Coaching 



As a financial counselor and coach, I work with individuals and families to help them learn better personal financial management. Through life-cycle financial education, I help clients realize their goals and achieve lasting economic well-being, no matter their financial situation. 


We offer one-on-one comprehensive financial counseling, coaching, and financial education services to help clients improve their economic well-being.  —Creating A Personal Financial Plan.


We also realize that individuals and families may not need comprehensive personal finance counseling and coaching, but may need to work on different aspects of their financial picture.
