Why I Care

"My goal is to help families and couples form their partnerships and resolve their conflicts over issues of money and property, especially where their emotional ties and concerns create uncertainties, doubts and resentments over time. I am committed to working with clients to integrate their interpersonal needs and priorities into their practical and financial goals. My greatest satisfaction is guiding my clients through these difficult challenges, at all stages of their business and family relationships, empowering them to make better decisions and engage in rational decision-making - when doing so is the most difficult task facing them."
