I’m an independent, fee-only financial planner and the founder of Vessel Financial Planning. I help individuals and families align their use of money with what they value most, so financial decisions feel clearer, more thoughtful, and less overwhelming. My role is to provide structure, perspective, and steady guidance as life and priorities evolve.
Vessel was built with real life in mind. I work with people balancing careers, family responsibilities, and long-term goals that often compete for time, money, energy, and attention. A core part of my process is helping clients identify what truly matters to them, then returning to those values as decisions arise. Rather than focusing only on investments, we look at the full picture, including cash flow, goals, tradeoffs, and the practical choices that shape both daily life and long-term direction.
Financial planning at Vessel is an ongoing, collaborative process. Values are not something we define once and set aside. They serve as a reference point over time, helping clients stay grounded when circumstances change or decisions feel uncertain. My goal is to be a steady partner who helps clients make thoughtful money decisions with greater confidence and clarity, so they can focus on living the life they want to live.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
