A Woman's Voice

My mission is to provide financial planning and investment advice that creates a more empowered client and stronger generation of women. Honesty, integrity, authenticity, and accessibility are the cornerstones of my work. My independence as a hybrid advisor is a part of upholding the fiduciary standard–doing what's best for the client. Through educational and informative advice, we will work together towards building a strategy for a better future for yourself and your family.

 

Fee Only Consulting

Beyond the scope of full management, Wealthcare Partners of Santa Barbara  offers fee-only services such as...

Consulting: Hourly-based consulting to address specific financial planning requests.* This service is typically used for divorce settlement planning, second-opinion portfolio analysis, and comprehensive planning without asset management or product placement.

Flat/Project Case: Comprehensive planning for limited and specific cases; fees range from $750 to $15,000 (negotiated in advance). 

*Billed at $250/hour through 12/31/21

 

The Wealthcare Difference

As a female advisor, I bring a different voice to the table. I educate my clients, listen to their needs, and seek to provide them with an appropriate investment strategy and financial plan. We work with accounts of all sizes, especially as you work your way towards $1 million (it's okay to have less to work with us). We strive to make a difference in our client's lives–your goals are our goals. Live your dream!

 

Portfolio Management

Knowledge is power! It's important to know what you own, which is why I offer a complimentary second-opinion and risk analysis. Wealthcare Partners of Santa Barbara prides itself as a retirement and investment specialist. Learn how the power of our fee-only or fee-based portfolio management can help you look towards low-cost, smart beta passive strategies and how they can work for you.

No strategy assures success or protects against loss*

 

Retirement Planning

Waves of Baby Boomers are beginning to seek out competent advice and guidance as they enter into retirement age. I am ready to take on these clients, specializing in planning for those nearing or already in retirement.

 

Women in Transition

Managing your finances on your own is difficult, but it doesn't have to be! Whether you are single, divorced, or transition from the loss of a loved one, we believe you deserve the guidance to help you through the tough financial decisions. We are trained to answer these questions and more for men and women in the process of divorce, and to provide litigation support for their attorneys (which can help them settle their case).

What does "Wealth" Mean to You?
Mar 19, 2023 by Collaborative Financial Solutions

In our client meetings, the term “wealth” is often tossed around somewhat loosely. We talk about building wealth, managing wealth, enhancing wealth, and preserving wealth as if the concepts are universally understood. But what exactly is wealth? It’s such a vague term that every person has a slightly different meaning. That’s why we need to start with some deep introspection about what having wealth really means.
