As a first-time mom myself, I get so much fulfillment working with clients who are growing their family. There are so many uncertainties around having a child, so my goal is to alleviate stress and help check boxes on your new parent checklist. Questions on saving for college, budgeting for new expenses, or how your personal plan evolves? I'm happy to help and can't wait to meet you!
