It’s time to address the elephant in the room:
More money doesn’t automatically relieve stress.
This isn’t anecdotal:
92% of employees and 76% of C-suite leaders report experiencing financial stress
That stress impacts sleep, focus, decision-making, and relationships
And it costs U.S. employers nearly $200 billion annually in lost productivity
That financial stress shows up at work.
And yet, most financial wellness programs focus on information (hello, generic financial literacy webinar), not what changes behavior.
My work is different. It’s behavioral, grounded in financial therapy, and informed by my clinical experience.
Most financial wellness programs don’t work.
Traditional financial wellness focuses on information.
But research shows:
80-90% of financial decisions are driven by our emotions,
financial education alone explains less than 1% of behavior change
So people leave feeling informed, but stay stuck.
My work focuses on where real change happens: the emotional, psychological, and systemic drivers of money.
In my sessions, your team will:
✅ Understand why they make the same money mistakes they do—even when they “know better”
✅ Reduce financial stress, avoidance, and overthinking
✅ Learn how to align spending and saving with their values for goals that stick
✅ Build financial habits that work in real life

A different type of financial wellness expert.
As a licensed social worker and certified financial therapist, my work is grounded in inclusivity, psychological safety, and respect for diverse lived experiences.
I’m frequently featured in outlets like CNN, Vox, and NPR for my work at the intersection of money and mental health.
My approach acknowledges the systems and structures that shape financial opportunities, so people can make informed decisions without shame or oversimplification.
Once you’re beyond just making ends meet, the next step isn’t another financial rulebook; it’s learning how to thrive.
Don’t sit through another financial wellness session that leaves your team bored and unchanged.
Bring in a behavioral, research-backed approach that sticks.
