Teh Financial Coaching

"We have worked with Christine for almost a year and couldn't possibly be more pleased with the results. Christine is not only a genuine and wonderful human being, but she is an exceptionally candid, forthright, and reasonable financial coach. What she provides isn't just a bunch of numbers or targets and goals, but really a framework to empower us to be more in tune with our finances, plan better, and ultimately achieve our goals sooner than we would have ever thought realistic. We were stuck in a rut of doing well, but being thoughtless with our finances, which were a bit chaotic -- after a year of work, coaching, and challenging reflection we are now doing the things we love to do while being more thoughtful in our approach to money. We both had some bad money habits and Christine helped us to address root causes and ultimately overcome our own struggles. Now, we are more confident in our futures. Christine is so much more than just a financial advisor -- if you are someone who really wants to understand themselves a little more (especially your relationship with money) and be an active participant in your financial well-being, Christine provides all the tools you need and thoughtful guidance along the way. As an added bonus, her flexibility on scheduling make this easy -- we started with monthly hour long sessions, and after a few months switched to monthly half-hour sessions to keep ourselves honest and to ask questions that might come up. Christine is patient and direct, offering understanding and candor -- working with her has been a privilege and honestly the best personal improvement / financial investment we've made!"

"tl;dr: I have been working with Christine for over a year, and in that time she has helped me feel comfortable with finance for the first time in my life and increase my net worth by over $100k. If you are looking for someone to take you from financial chaos to order, predictability, and to develop or increase your financial literacy, Christine is your coach! I approached Christine after I separated from my partner who used to handle all our finances. At the time, I got very triggered and emotional even talking about finances or money or budgeting. Christine helped me develop a baseline of financial literacy and understanding, and build up from where I was to now where I have several different savings and investment vehicles, and a way for me to track my expenses. During our time together, I would find things that were triggering or hard for me, then take those to my therapist to work through all the emotional baggage, then come back to Christine to help me move forward practically. She was very patient with me in this process, and as a result of per patience and consistency, all of her coaching has stuck with me and been deeply integrated into the rhythms of my life. Christine has been very open to me finding ways to think about finances that work for me and my ADHD brain as well as fears around finances. Rather than using a huge spreadsheet for all my monthly expenses, she worked with me to average out all my expenses and then set up different accounts that represent buckets for me - this way I am always within my budget without the arduous and impossible tracking. When I was scared of investing, she helped me to find books that explained all the systems so I felt more knowledgable and resourced in moving forward. Now that we have things on track, I still meet with Christine every quarter for a tune up and check-in, and I always appreciate her coaching and well-timed reality-checks"

"Christine has been an amazing financial coach. Financial literacy is something that I’ve always had a difficult time with. After I graduated from grad school I felt overwhelmed not knowing where to start with budgeting and understanding my finances. Christine helped me figure out all my loans, credit card debt, and spending habits. I am so happy I met with her, she is patient, very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I have learned a lot of financial literacy skills that I plan to continue to apply on a daily basis. She has a great approach/thorough assessment to help understand your history with money, this really helped me have a more positive perspective on how I view my finances. I highly recommend her, she is amazing and I plan to continue to meet with her in the future."

"Definitely recommend Christine as a financial coach! I had a lot of anxiety around finances and I was feeling very overwhelmed. She made me feel so comfortable and really broke it down for me. She has such a vast knowledge, good personable communication skills and actual helpful insights to financial needs. 10/10 would recommend, feeling so much better about my finances. Thanks!"
