Michelle helps clients succeed by being a good steward of their resources. She’s more than a financial planner; she focuses on developing meaningful relationships with her clients to develop individualized plans as their trusted advisor. She has been with the firm for over 20 years and loves helping people set, work toward, and achieve their goals.
Most of us think we know how much we spend, but don’t account for those extra pair of shoes that somehow end up in our closet once a month or those frequent stops for coffee. Advisors will help you think of expenses you may not remember or help you consider savings plans and methods you might not be aware of. Most importantly, advisors help keep you accountable along the way.
