After tragically losing their infant daughter to leukemia, Alex and her family moved to Sonoma County, California, where she now remotely advises our clients in all parts of the country. She is passionate about helping women command a leading role in their financial lives, as well as helping families plan for the unimaginable.

By being certified by the CFP Board, she has taken the extra step to demonstrate professionalism by voluntarily submitting to the rigorous CFP® certification process that includes highly demanding education, examination, experience and ethical requirements.

Alex is also a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, a financial professional skilled at analyzing data and providing expertise on the financial issues of divorce. The role of the CDFA® professional is to assist the client and their attorney to understand the financial implications of decisions faced during the divorce and mediation process.
