Financial Coaching & Education

In addition to psychotherapy services for clients located in New York and Florida, I offer financial coaching and educational services for individuals seeking practical, values-aligned support around money.

Financial coaching focuses on skills, awareness, and action—helping you better understand your financial habits, make intentional decisions, and build sustainable systems that reflect your values.

These services are available to clients nationwide.

What Is Financial Coaching?

Financial coaching is a non-clinical, non-therapeutic service that supports clients with:

  • Budgeting and cash-flow awareness

  • Money habits and spending patterns

  • Values-based financial decision making

  • Goal setting and accountability

  • Reducing financial overwhelm through structure and clarity

Coaching is collaborative and forward-focused. It is not therapy, counseling, or mental health treatment.

Important Distinction Between Therapy & Coaching

  • Financial coaching is not psychotherapy.

  • It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions, address trauma, or provide clinical intervention.

  • Psychotherapy services are available only to clients in states where I am licensed.

  • Financial coaching services are educational and consultative and may be provided nationwide.

  • Clients may not receive psychotherapy and financial coaching with me at the same time, to maintain clear professional boundaries.

    This distinction helps ensure ethical, transparent, and effective care

Who Financial Coaching May Be a Good Fit For

Financial coaching may be helpful if you:

  • Want practical guidance rather than emotional processing

  • Feel overwhelmed by money but don’t need therapy support

  • Are looking for accountability and structure

  • Want your finances to align with your faith, values, or long-term vision

If you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship distress, or other mental health concerns, psychotherapy may be the more appropriate service.
