At TD Wealth Financial Planning, we believe that each client’s needs are truly unique. Our goal is to offer you the relevant, personalized wealth advice you deserve. We work with a wide range of clients whose needs and desires vary greatly, and we understand that one size doesn't fit all. From investing in your children's future, to planning for your own retirement or leaving a legacy, we are here to help you every step of the way.

Your priorities, our expertise

We start with an understanding of who you are, your values and your vision of success. This means reviewing the financial decisions you've made over the years, the goals you've set for yourself in the years to come, and the ways in which these reflect what is important in your life.  We then use our proprietary Discovery Process, based on behavioral finance principles, to uncover your Wealth PersonalityTM profile. We then leverage this to deliver a personalized financial plan that fits your financial goals and can evolve with you as your needs change over time.

As a Financial Planner with over 25 years of financial services experience, I am passionately committed to providing my clients a fully integrated financial plan that balances living life today with setting goals for tomorrow. I hold an Honours Bachelors of Arts degree in Economics from Wilfrid Laurier University. I also hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification offered by FP Canada.

To help meet my clients' evolving needs, I work together with a team of specialists in investment management, estate planning, tax, credit and insurance.

Connect with me today to learn more about how I can help you and your family reach your personal and financial goals.

Your priorities are important to us. We can work together towards your goals, and can help with:

Tax Planning

Work with us to assess and recommend strategies that can help to reduce your tax burden, and:

  1. Reduce your taxable income during your lifetime or upon passing away
  2. Explore income splitting strategies
  3. Take advantage of tax deductions and credits available to you

Retirement Planning

We can offer strategies to help you become retirement-ready by discussing questions like:

  1. How much income is needed for the retirement you aspire to?
  2. How can you save enough to fund your retirement?
  3. How can you reduce taxes during retirement?
  4. When should you start taking your government benefits?

Estate Planning

Estate planning helps ensure your wishes are carried out and is an effective way to benefit your heirs.

  1. Ensure you have an up-to-date Will and Power of Attorney
  2. Consider using executor services like a corporate executor or Power of Attorney for Property
  3. Transfer your wealth and help avoid any unintended consequences
