Savvy Financial Counseling, LLC

Person Paying Bills

Money is a tool.

Let me teach ​you to use it ​better.

Your money.

Your values.

Your goals.


Personal finance should be personal to you.

Based on your values and your goals.


Financial literacy rates in the U.S. are low at a time when the ​need for financial knowledge and awareness has never been ​greater. Yet, even if you know better, you may not do better.


Let me teach you how to better manage your cash flow, credit, ​and debt to get where you want to go, like college, retirement ​or even just less stressful month to month living.


Financial Advisor Discussing Financial Figures

How is financial counseling different from advising?

Financial Counseling is a collaboration between client and counselor to identify the client’s ​personal financial goals and the steps necessary to reach those goals – small or large.


Together we address financial issues such as cash flow, household spending, savings plans, ​credit history, debt repayment schedules and pre-consumer loan counseling as well as ​providing general retirement and investment education.


Financial counseling is appropriate for individuals, couples and families who are in the ​process of building or merging their household assets. Once their asset building goals are ​met, a client may be ready to consider transferring to a Certified Financial Planner® for more ​advanced financial planning such as comprehensive retirement and estate planning.

My goal is helping you reach yours. Period.

Most importantly, the information and plans we build ​together are tailored to you and your situation. I want ​all of my clients to feel empowered by identifying ​their goals and working together to create strategies ​to achieve those goals.
