Experience
“What I enjoy most about my job is that I am able to propose to clients a variety of strategies. I do the research and explain the alternatives and my clients select the approach that they are most comfortable with.”
Having previously worked in the Management Consulting industry with executives of Fortune 500 companies, Debbie is familiar with the demands that career-minded clients face. Debbie aims to protect and grow assets to give her clients a more secure financial future while they focus on career, home, and family.
A special focus of her practice is financial planning for women. Debbie is an advocate in guiding them through critical life decisions, educating them, and empowering them to achieve financial independence. She works diligently and with dedication to help her clients enjoy financial well being, knowing that they have a comprehensive and well-coordinated financial plan in place.
Debbie uses her years of experience in strategic planning to help clients analyze their situation and make financial decisions that will benefit them both short-term and long-term. She helps clients navigate the complexities and tax implications of employee stock purchase, stock option, and 401(k) plans.

She is an active member of the Financial Planning Association and has served on the Board of Directors as the chair of the Pro Bono Committee to bring financial literacy to those who would not otherwise have access to financial advice.
