No matter who you are or where you are on your financial journey, you can benefit from having someone walk alongside you to help take you from where you are to where you want to be. That is where working with a financial coach comes in.

What Exactly Is Financial Coaching?

Working with a financial coach is not much different from working with an athletic coach or a career coach. I will help you identify your goals and will work with you to put together an action plan to reach them. Whether you desire to pay off debt, reach a savings goal, plan for the future, or simply gain a greater sense of control over your finances, coaching will provide you with the much-needed accountability and support to achieve your goals.

I provide a coaching experience that’s effective yet relatable and offer plenty of encouragement while being firm and holding you accountable to what you are working towards. You won’t have to worry about being pushed financial products as I don’t sell insurance or any other financial instruments. My goal is simply to help you reach yours.

Coaching can help you:

• Identify habits and behaviors that are affecting your finances
• Break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle
• Create a working budget
• Build up an emergency fund
• Put together a plan for paying off your debt
• Learn how to work together with your spouse
• Plan for kids’ college and retirement

I offer a free 30-minute consultation before you decide to move forward with coaching sessions.

How Does it Work?

Coaching sessions may be booked individually or in 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month packages. Appointments take place online via Skype, over the phone, or in person if you’re in the Connecticut area. We’ll begin our coaching relationship by assessing your situation, taking a look at your goals, and then coming up with a logical action plan to help you achieve them.

From church groups to community groups, I welcome the opportunity to speak at your event. My aim in my workshops and keynotes alike is to present information and encouragement in a way that is engaging, relatable, and inspires action.

By weaving in humor, audience participation, and my personal story of going from hopeless to debt-free, I create an experience that will inspire your audience, give them hope, and move them to take the next step in their financial journey
