As a planner with TD Wealth Financial Planning, I am passionately committed to providing my clients a fully integrated financial plan that balances living life today with setting goals for tomorrow. I take the time to understand, not just their current financial circumstances, but also the objectives and motivations integral to it. Whether you are planning for retirement or starting a new business, I am here to help guide you every step of the way.

In my role, I focus on four key areas:

  • Build net worth – Identifying investment solutions that align to my clients’ evolving needs.
  • Implement tax-efficient strategies – Working with my clients to help create and structure their accounts to help reduce tax exposure while keeping income available for when it’s needed.
  • Protect what matters – Leveraging the expertise of TD specialists, I help integrate strategies to protect what matters to my clients.
  • Leave a legacy – Helping my clients to build a plan to effectively transfer their wealth.

We begin by gaining an understanding of your personal and financial goals. Next, we provide you with a summary of our discussion to confirm we have correctly detailed all of your aspirations. Then, we create a plan that includes recommendations unique to you. After reviewing our recommendations, and making sure that you are in agreement, we will begin to implement the various elements of your plan and continue to work with you along the way.
