Personal finances are shaped by your upbringing, values, and emotions, not just numbers. Understanding your relationship with money can improve your financial well-being, strengthen relationships, and reduce stress.

Financial Social Work

  • Because of my specialized training and credentials as a Financial Therapist (LICSW, CFSW), I am qualified to provide individual and couples therapy with a focus on personal finances. I understand that money is a deeply personal and emotional topic and help clients explore their financial beliefs and behaviors, enhance communication with their partner about money, and address feelings of guilt, shame, or overwhelm.

    Clients typically meet with me on a weekly or biweekly basis to work on improving both their financial well-being and mental health.

  • Personal finances are closely tied to mental health, affecting far more than just your bank balance. Your financial habits and decisions are often shaped by deep-seated emotions, values, and life experiences. Gaining insight into your relationship with money can reveal patterns of stress, anxiety, or emotional spending that impact your overall well-being. By addressing these underlying influences, you can improve both your financial stability and your mental health, fostering healthier relationships and reducing emotional burdens.

  • Financial Therapy provides a supportive, judgment-free, and strengths-based space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around money. It empowers you to develop healthy financial habits, navigate financial changes with ease, and make decisions with greater confidence and clarity.

  • Whether you’re moving in together, preparing for marriage, or working through long-standing financial conflicts, couples financial therapy offers a space to build a shared language and deeper understanding around both money and each other.
