    Where do we begin? It starts with you.

    At Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, your financial advisor focuses on the things you care about most- family, goals and priorities - even as they change over the years.

    Understanding Your Life

    Start Here

    You should be able to align your life with your priorities. That’s why I take the time to ask hard, smart questions and to listen carefully. I strive to understand exactly where your wealth stands today, and where you’d like to be in the future. My focus is helping you design and implement a customized financial strategy. That means you can pursue what’s most important to you with a trusted advisor by your side.

    How We Operate

    Having a customized financial strategy and a trusted advisor makes a difference. Beyond investments recommendations, you should be having regular, meaningful conversations with your financial advisor. My commitment is centered in helping clients like you achieve their goals by making their needs and wants a priority. My advice and strategies are guided by what’s important to you, and our success is defined by your satisfaction over time.

    Approach

    Every relationship begins with a conversation, helping you identify and prioritize which goals matter most to you. Whether it's transferring wealth to the next generation, customizing your financial approach to help you pursue your passions, or providing advice and guidance to help you stay informed, I start by listening to learn more about you and your family.

    Your approach to investing

    Drawing upon research in the field of behavioral finance, Merrill developed the Investment Personality Assessment to help us get to know you better as an investor and potentially help you refine your own investing preferences. By gaining a deeper understanding of how you think and feel about investing through this assessment, we can customize the financial approach we develop together to help you pursue what matters most to you. Our Investment Personality Assessment is one of the ways to help us get to know you - to understand your goals and priorities. These questions will help us provide you with additional insights and resources.

    Staying on Track

    We understand that both your life and the financial markets can change over time. By checking in to discuss changes in your life and revisiting your financial approach, our goal is to help you stay on track to achieve what's most important to you.
