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.

What We Do

We start by engaging in a balanced discovery conversation. We engage in a collaborative consultation to fully understand your financial needs, priorities and goals. Family, business and experience are all considered. With a deep understanding of your priorities, a lead advisor connects you with a core team of TD specialists with expertise in everything from investment, estate and trust planning and philanthropy, to business succession and tax planning.

Through our discovery process we’ll connect you to the right relationship manager, who based on your specific needs, will build a team of specialists around you to help achieve your vision of success.

At TD Wealth, we believe in taking the time to discover what truly matters to you. You’ll have access to a team of TD specialists, who will get to know what’s important to you before getting to your numbers. It’s private wealth management redefined, brought to you by one of the largest private wealth service providers in Canada.

The goals and dreams you and your family share for your work and career, well-being, home, lifestyle and legacy.

Over time, you may find that your needs and goals change. TD Wealth Financial Planning has the expertise to help you stay on track. As we continue to meet with you, we’ll introduce new strategies to adapt your financial plan to those changes. We look forward to developing a relationship with you in order to understand your goals and aspirations and design a plan that continues to meet your current needs and future goals.
