You're worried you'll be told what to do...
You’re safe here. You will not be corrected, directed, or sold to. Our work will be collaborative and respectful.
You think you are "bad at money"
But you are so much closer than you think you are!
It might seem like it will take years to make any progress (after all it took you years to get here), but you’ll start seeing results in just a few sessions. Most couples meet with me for just 15 sessions.
Couples' financial coaching that respects both of you.

Frequently Asked Questions about Coaching for Marriage and Finances
What do we need to have on hand for coaching?
You won’t need any financial information on hand as we begin coaching.
Through our work together we’ll be gathering all of that info.
Collecting and presenting all your financial “laundry” seems like the logical first step, right? But if I asked my clients to start getting financially naked right up front, we’d never start.
Is it important that both partners be at the info session?
It is, yes. The purpose of an info session is for me to make sure I’m a good fit for both of you, and of course, for you folks to ask any and all questions you might have.
We’ll also talk about what to expect out of coaching as well as logistics (pricing, homework, schedulingn etc.)
If you feel like just an info session with you is called for, you’re welcome to reach out and we can find a time together!
I want my partner to stop spending money... how will you fix that?
Short answer, I don’t fix anything or anyone… mostly because you (and your partner) are not broken. My job is not to direct, shame, or punish anyone.
Instead, my job is to give you both tools that will help you first trust yourselves with your money, then each other. We’ll talk about how to bring decision making in line with your values, and how to build a customized communication system around money.
Will you give us a budget?
Nope. I’ve never just assigned a budget to anyone. The purpose of our work together will be that I build your budget with you, and for you.
I’ve never built the same budget twice!
A budget isn’t just a spending plan, it’s also a communication tool. After all, if you and your partner can’t communicate about money, it doesn’t matter how much of it you make, how much you restrict yourselves, or how beautiful of a budget you try to implement, it WILL fail.

I get it, restriction seems like the only “logical” way to reduce spending, but what if there were a less emotional way?
