Trust, relationships, and work ethic. Three core values I take very seriously when serving you and your family. Working with me, you can expect honesty, good judgement, and strong character. Reliable and responsive to your financial needs, I place your interests ahead of my own and strive to always be a positive, empathetic, and collaborative partner. Disciplined and organized, with a sense of curiosity, my goal is to achieve results that will help and support the wellbeing of your family. With more than 30 years of financial and business experience, my hope is to share the knowledge, experience, and a little wisdom developed over that time to help you achieve your next goals in life.

I founded Innermost™ Wealth Management to create a more personal, thoughtful approach to financial planning and wealth management. My background in both finance and psychology shaped my belief that money is not just about numbers. It is deeply personal and connected to your values, goals, and life experiences. I work with professionals who want to grow and simplify their wealth, with a special focus on women navigating career growth, equity compensation, and major life transitions such as divorce. Many of my clients are balancing busy lives and complex financial decisions, and they value having a long-term financial partner who truly understands their needs. My firm is centered on ongoing wealth management through investment advisory relationships. Clients work with me for comprehensive financial planning and investment management that evolves with them over time. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® Candidate, I provide technical expertise and strategic guidance, while also recognizing the emotional side of financial decisions. My approach is compassionate, judgment-free, and designed to reduce stress while helping you feel more confident in your choices. I operate a fully virtual firm, working with clients across the country who appreciate flexibility and convenience. My goal is to simplify your financial life, provide clear advice, and help you align your wealth with what matters most to you. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, photography, cooking, and spending quality time with my Beagle, Gracie.

RetireMitten Financial specializes in helping family’s transition into retirement. We are also experts in cross-border financial planning, specifically helping families that have worked in both the U.S. and Canada. In order to help families realize their dream of a successful retirement, we go through a three-step process. Step 1: The Retirement Roadmap Initially, we go through a comprehensive retirement plan and goal setting process. What do you want your ideal retirement to look like? How do you envision spending your newfound free time? Great, let's put together a plan so that you can stop worrying, and start enjoying retirement. Step 2: The Retirement Paycheck Once goals are established, we now need to build an investment portfolio to help meet those goals. We believe in a cash-flow matching investment strategy. Cash-flow matching involves creating a monthly “retirement paycheck”, to help meet your goals. This allows you to feel comfortable generating a steady stream of income, regardless of the ups and down of the stock market. Step 3: On-going Planning and Support The initial plan and investment strategy are only the beginning. Things change a lot in retirement. The stock market, your goals, and your life are ever changing. So should your retirement plan. Our systematic approach to meetings allows us to consistently change your plan as soon as your goals change. That European river cruise you woke up last night dreaming about, let’s figure out how to make it a reality. Looking for a Stress-Free and Fulfilling Retirement? If you are looking for an experienced financial planner to help guide you through retirement, let’s talk.

With more than 15 years of experience in the wealth management industry, Carla founded Ametrine Wealth with the vision of helping people–particularly women–take control of their financial futures. She prides herself on creating a compassionate, trusting environment for clients and removing the barriers that keep people from setting and achieving their financial goals.

Originally from Massachusetts, Carla initially envisioned a career in science. She graduated magna cum laude from Washington and Lee University and received a Masters in chemistry from Northwestern University. However, long hours in the lab made her realize her preference for engaging with people over compounds, and she decided to put her analytical skills to use in the financial sector.

Carla lives in Lake Orion with her husband, Jarod, and her two greatest accomplishments, daughters Brinley and Chloe.
