Laura focuses on helping clients identify, plan for, and work toward their personal and financial goals. Along the way, Laura also helps her clients manage their assets, navigate transitions, and proactively address their financial concerns and challenges. She works closely with each client to develop a sound asset management approach that incorporates their specific needs, circumstances, and goals. As a single parent, Laura is particularly attuned to the many unique issues women may face as they build, manage, and eventually pass their wealth to the next generation. Laura is also adept at working with women who find themselves in a period of transition or as the sole person in charge of their family’s financial life.
