Wealth Aligned with Life. Not Just Numbers.
You feel it, don't you? Your wealth isn't just about accounts or spreadsheets; it's about the true assets of life: the freedom of abundant time, the calm of inner peace, the richness of connected relationships, the drive of genuine purpose, and the health and energy to enjoy it. Money can't buy these things, but you can strategically invest in helping them grow and thrive.My journey to founding this firm came from a clear realization: individuals and families deserve better. For years, at top Wall Street firms, I saw plans that grew, protected, and transferred assets, yet inadvertently caused harm and confusion within important family relationships, impacting emotional well-being. Helping clients anticipate and navigate such unintended consequences was often outside the traditional scope of large institutions.You're not alone. Financial planning can feel like a frustrating maze of jargon and complexity. Even with accounts at prestigious firms, high-net-worth clients sense something crucial is missing. They need a truly aligned strategy and a dedicated partner who understands:
• Money and Business: Seeing beyond the portfolio to grasp the full scope of their financial world and entrepreneurial ventures.
• The Family and Individuals: Communicating effectively on sensitive financial matters with all family members and unique personal needs.
• Absolute Discretion: Prioritizing their privacy and confidentiality in all financial affairs.The truth is, most people—especially those with significant wealth—find the advice they get generic, confusing, or completely out of sync with their real life. This is because most financial, tax, and legal approaches to planning, while robust on the quantitative side, often fall short in accurately accounting for the human and relational aspects of wealth, whether for yourself, your loved ones, or a broader legacy. They often overlook the deeper purpose behind your financial decisions and how aligning finances with personal values can lead to profound life satisfaction and prudent management, regardless of family structure or charitable intent.

"If you're tired of generic advice and ready for clarity, True Wealth Planning is your answer."
