MY APPROACH TO WEALTH MANAGEMENT

As a Financial Advisor, CFP® at Morgan Stanley I am dedicated to providing my clients with a customized approach to wealth management, built on a personal relationship and shaped by an understanding of each client’s unique needs and aspirations. I concentrate my efforts on developing long-term relationships through a commitment to exceptional service and ongoing dialogue.

I am focused on serving the needs of individuals and families. I believe success in achieving important financial goals starts with a comprehensive wealth strategy. I work closely with my clients and their other professional advisors to help ensure that all current and future assets are analyzed, liabilities weighed and estate planning strategies, including appropriate wealth transfer strategies, are implemented. I hold periodic reviews to benchmark investment strategies to current goals, and proactively propose and implement solutions. My approach is personalized and continuous.
