About our Firm
In an age where the most educated and privileged Americans are working more hours than ever and financial security feels perilous even for high-earners, so many of us feel constrained by the need to “make a living.”
But what if it doesn’t need to be this way?
What if this financial fear is just a reaction out of a misguided survival instinct that is leading us to trade in our capacity to express our best gifts for the sake of safety, status and consumption?
What if there was a way to provide for our families and live in wealth while still having the freedom to choose how we work and spend our time?
The answer lies in getting extremely intentional with your money. For us, this was the key to developing the emotional and financial confidence to pursue a life that we want to live.
Now, we support others to do the same.
We integrate financial planning, investment management and coaching for LGBTQ+ households and other modern families.
✅ FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR WOMEN: We need our money to last longer. Yet women earn less, invest more conservatively and feel more stressed about money than men. Let’s change the statistics.
✅ FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR LGBTQ+: How we define our relationships. How we build families. Where we choose to live. Who we can and can’t depend on for support. Our practice specializes in the unique needs of our community.
✅ TECH EMPLOYEES AND MONEY: You’ve got RSUs, ESPPs, or stock options (or some combination). We help you make a plan that manages for taxes and concentration risk.
✅ SELF-EMPLOYED AND MONEY: Self-employment tax. Solo 401k or SEP IRA. S-Corp or sole prop. Deductible expenses. There’s so much to consider when you’re the boss. We’re here to help.
✅ FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AND WORK OPTIONAL: What’s your “number?” Figuring out a path to get there is half the battle. Finding the courage to make the leap once you’re there is the other half.
You have a vision for the life you want to live. We help you design and execute on a financial plan to make it possible.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
