About My Clients

Personal finances and financial behavior are just as much about feelings as they are about finances. My clients are individuals or couples seeking to better understand themselves and their relationship with money in order to enhance their interpersonal relationships, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve their finances. Through financial therapy, you will be able to implement healthy financial behaviors, adapt to financial changes, and feel confident in your decisions.

My Background and Approach

As a personal finance nerd turned mental health therapist, I love exploring the roles early experiences, relationships, values, culture, social media, and feelings play in one’s relationship to money and one's financial behaviors. I enjoy connecting with people and truly striving to understand their thoughts, beliefs, and intentions. Throughout our work together, I will utilize evidence based approaches, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Financial Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Financial Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), in order to improve financial habits and behaviors.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that personal finances are nuanced, and financial decision making cannot simply be reduced to numbers. While our financial beliefs and behaviors are deeply imbedded, I believe change is always possible.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
