We were reluctant to see a financial advisor in the beginning. But after initial contact with Laura, a lot of questions and the process that we discussed helped to ease our minds.

Laura is the best financial advisor! She is so easy to work with and has been helpful in every way. From answering all my questions to making sure I am prepared for retirement but also helping me save for short and long term goals. I know she always has my best interest in mind which is why I love working with her!

As a recent college graduate with little knowledge of the financial world, I cannot say enough great things about working with Laura. She has been an awesome guide in helping me set up a solid financial plan, from budgeting and paying off student loans to planning for retirement and making smart investments. Laura goes above and beyond, and genuinely cares about my success. Her expertise and dedication have given me the confidence to face the future with a clear financial roadmap. I am truly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a financial advisor who is not only knowledgeable but also deeply invested in her clients’ well-being.

I have been a client for about 8 months now.
Laura has been fantastic at helping me understand the benefits and importance of my TSP.
Before being advised I did not have a budget, and was not worried about my long term goals.
Since then I have created a budget, saved thousands, and maximized my TSP in terms of reaching my financial freedom.
Very much recommend as she is kind, helpful, and always quick to respond to any questions.

I've had a wonderful experience working with Laura and have already recommended her to friends and family of mine. I went into our initial meetings with only a basic understanding of a 401k and not much else, but now I feel like I have a firm grasp of what the best tools for building my future are. I can't thank Laura enough for her advisement!

Laura is amazing! She sincerely cares about helping us make the best financial decisions for our future. We would never claim to be investment savvy and Laura takes the time to explain the pros and cons of each decision we are making, easing the fear that comes with lifelong decisions like retirement planning. She’s earned our trust and we’re fortunate to have her in our corner.

Laura is GREAT! I’ve learned so much about financial planning and investing from her. Being a new grad and not knowing much about the finance world, I was very unsure about how to get started with investing and paying off my student loans. Laura made everything simple and easy to understand, and created an easy to follow strategy for paying off my debts. I have gained financial confidence from her, and know that she has played a tremendous role in setting me up for success!
