About James
Bio
I usually get to the heart of your financial situation and goals within the first 5-15 minutes of the call. I specialize in helping clients plan major life transitions such as retirement, FIRE and Coast FIRE, career transitions, sabbaticals, going back to school, and starting a family. My other specialty is in the emotional/behavioral side of money. I help you make financial decisions based on your goals, emotions, and values instead of basing things purely on the numbers. I have helped many clients uncover the stories in their head around money, let go of unhelpful mindsets around money, and transform their relationship with money for the better. My goal is to help you balance saving money with living your best life today while making your finances as simple as possible. By the time our meeting is over, you will have gained important financial knowledge and feel empowered to make the right financial decisions!
