In my work, I’ve seen how unresolved money stress can quietly erode relationships—and how powerful it is when partners begin to speak openly, listen with empathy, and align their financial choices with shared values and long-term goals.
Merge is also a space for individuals feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or ashamed about money. You may be navigating a life transition, unlearning generational patterns, or simply trying to gain more control and confidence in your financial life. No matter where you’re starting, this work is about healing your relationship with money from the inside out.
I offer individual sessions, couples financial therapy, and workshops, using a trauma-informed, collaborative approach rooted in my signature MERGE Method, which addresses:
Money Stories – Uncover how early money experiences and family messages shape your beliefs
Emotions – Identify financial triggers and build skills to manage anxiety, shame, or avoidance
Relationships – Improve financial communication and establish healthy money boundaries
Growth – Align your financial goals with your values and the legacy you want to create
Endurance – Develop adaptable systems and habits for long-term financial and emotional wellbeing
Whether you’re seeking financial peace as an individual or striving for greater connection as a couple, Merge offers a space where emotional healing and practical financial change go hand in hand.
Because money is never just about money—it’s about your story, your relationships, and your future.

How long will we work together?

It is recommended to allow for 6-8 sessions, scheduled bi-weekly (twice per month), to explore your goals in working together, how you grew up experiencing money and personal finance, and identifying practical and achievable changes you can make to improve your relationship with money. That being said, there is no committment required and we will spend the first session or two making sure the relationship is a good fit. It is also common that clients decide to continue past 6-8 sessions.
