We help you plan for the time of your life!

 Welcome!

Financial planning doesn’t have to be complicated, boring or unattainable.  And you don’t have to be a millionaire to need a financial plan.  A financial plan can:

  • Help you define your life goals

  • Establish a blueprint to fulfill these goals

  • Provide advice and tools to set you on the right path towards success. 

Working with a financial advisor who listens, considers your lifestyle and needs, and can analyze how your cash flow, savings and assets can work together is key. Not only can we develop the plan with you but we can also act as your accountability partner on this journey.

Hi, I’m Lena

I’m a financial advisor with  20+ year financial industry experience.  My mission is to provide education and guidance to help clients fulfill their life goals through strategic financial planning.

Working together, I can help you

  • Clarify your values

  • Develop and refine your spending & savings plan

  • Identify financial strengths and weaknesses

  • Define risk tolerance and investing strategies

  • Provide cash flow projections and a customized & adjustable financial plan

  • Access to financial education and wellness

My commitment to clients :

Advocacy.  

My commitment to my clients means that I will work to understand what is important in your lives—and help you to prioritize and work towards these goals.

Accountability.  

Developing a financial plan that includes and impacts all the corners of your life means that we build it together and stay committed.

Authenticity.  

You bring your true self to your work, family, friends and interests—as do I. This should be reflected in the work we do together

Aspiration.

Life is long and short. Let’s make the most of it.

I work with clients in various stages of life including:

  • Success-driven professionals 

  • Fierce entrepreneurial women

  • Growth-minded business owners

  • Creatives

  • Gen-Xers seeking retirement planning guidance.
