Clients I specialize in: Business owners, Executives, Women

As a Private Wealth Advisor Managing Director, I help my clients define their goals and understand their options. Then I partner with them to create tailored wealth management strategies. My clients' wealth plans include the right mix of investment management, trust and estate services, and private banking to meet their unique needs and preferences.

I've worked in the banking and financial services industry since 2002. I help clients succeed by inspiring them to make better decisions by understanding what is important. Together we create a custom wealth plan based upon their goals and aspirations that serves as a guidepost for decision-making and identifying relevant strategies. Wealth planning is a personal experience and I take your financial success seriously.

I live in Arden Hills, and serve clients in Twin Cities. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, gardening, kayaking or playing in the snow with my husband, our two children, and our dog. I also like reading, cooking, practicing yoga, and have traveled to more than 25 countries. I am an active member of the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota and Twin Cities Estate Planning Council.

About Private Wealth Management

We help our clients build and preserve wealth, so they can live the lives they want while supporting the people and causes they care about. Our approach goes beyond just managing your investments. We work to understand your lifestyle, family, passions and goals and then provide tailored advice and guidance. You’ll have a single point of contact – your Private Wealth Advisor – who’s backed by our experts in areas such as planning, investments, trusts and banking. Together, we’ll create a wealth plan aligned with your needs and priorities.

FAQ

The role of a financial advisor can go beyond investment planning. An advisor can also provide guidance for key moments throughout your life. Perhaps your finances have gotten more complex, and you’d like help creating or adjusting your wealth plan. You may be worried how market changes are affecting your investments. Or you’re experiencing a major life event, such as:

  • Getting married or divorced
  • Having a child
  • Starting a new career
  • Receiving an inheritance
  • Buying a house
  • Nearing retirement

An advisor can help you objectively assess where you are financially and how to prepare for the future as you work toward your goals.

Your advisor will ask about your goals and priorities – where you’re at today, financially, and where you'd like to go. But the main topic of conversation will be whatever’s on your mind. You can discuss how you and your advisor will work together, what you can expect from your advisor, any costs if you decide to move forward, and next steps. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, to help you decide if the relationship is the right fit.

No, your initial consultation is free.

We’ll confirm with you what materials, such as recent bank and financial statements, may be helpful for understanding your financial picture. But it’s your choice what to bring. To help you decide – and to ensure you get the most out of the conversation with your advisor – consider the following before the meeting:

  • What are your most important financial goals?
  • What concerns you about your finances?
  • Did you recently experience a major life event?

We’re happy to meet with you virtually or in person. It’s up to you.
