At About Time, we believe that everyone deserves financial empowerment. We give people an affirming space to talk about money and the support they need to make empowered money decisions so they can reach financial freedom and live their fullest lives. I love helping independent, high-earning folks think through what’s best for your life and family – decoding our needlessly complex financial system into something you can actually understand. I am: --Flat Fee, Fee-Only: Transparent pricing with no commissions, no asset minimums. Fiduciary. --Values-Aligned & Impact Driven: We can help you explore socially conscious financial decisions that reflect your values and goals - including sustainable (SRI, ESG) and community impact investing, and values-aligned spending and giving. --Built for You: Everything we do is designed around the unique planning needs of physician families, small business owners, and LGBTQ+ couples - savvy tax-saving strategies, exploring a career pivot, student loan repayment options, self-employed retirement & insurance, budgeting for fertility costs and childcare, protecting your family, home buying vs. renting and more. --Relatable & Affirming: I focus on working with women, gender-expansive folk, and families like yours so I can share the collective wisdom gathered from all of us. I welcome you to bring your whole self. I will meet you where you are and provide financial clarity and peace of mind. --Clear & Efficient: I'll explain your financial options in jargon-free terms, encourage questions, and help you make informed, empowered decisions about your financial future. I'll take as much off your plate as possible and simplify the rest so you can spend time living your fullest life. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice Commitment: We foster a just and inclusive culture with a safe and affirming environment for all people. We welcome clients of all backgrounds, respect intersectional identities and use our privilege to amplify underrepresented voices and challenge inequitable systems. We acknowledge that racism and patriarchy have shaped the American financial system and strive to change the status quo through intentional action. We seek accountability for our actions and embrace mistakes as opportunities for repair and growth. We recognize that doing this important work is a continuous effort that we commit to pursue.

We built this firm because the financial industry is broken. Here's a hard truth: Most financial advisors operate under a conflict of interest. They're paid to sell you products, even if they never admit it. Think about that. When you walk into a car dealership, you know the game. The salesperson wants you in the most expensive car possible - that's how they get paid. You know it, they know it, everyone knows it. But financial advisors? They play a different game. They present themselves as trusted experts, like doctors who are supposed to have your best interests at heart. Except most of them are secretly just car salespeople in scrubs, pushing investments, pricey insurance policies, and overly complex products – all because that’s how they make their money. That hypothetical problem with your doctor is a very real issue with financial advisors. It's why every day we see individuals sold investments they don’t need, overpriced insurance products that don’t fit the need, and accounts being billed an annual percentage when someone hasn’t looked at them in months. This happens because 99% percent of all financial advisors are paid in some form of commission. Those commissions vary wildly from investment to investment, policy to policy and account type to account type to further confuse the end consumer, you. It’s this issue that lead to the formation and even the name of our company. We operate as true fee-only fiduciaries. Meaning we can only be compensated with a single flat fee, and can receive no commission what so ever. This makes us completely unbiased and allows us to always have your best interests in mind.
