Financial stress is no different.<br><br>Like many families, I lived through 9\/11, the 2008 market crash, and the volatility of 2020, believing that putting everything into a 401(k) was \u201cthe responsible thing to do.\u201d What most people were never taught is how much risk they were carrying, or what other options even existed.<br><br>Today, I bring that perspective into financial planning. I listen first. I ask better questions. And I help clients design strategies that account for real life, not just best-case scenarios.<br><br>My approach is education-first and pressure-free. If I can help, we build a plan. If I can\u2019t, you still leave with clarity.<br><br>That\u2019s what the SWAN Plan is about: helping you <strong>Sleep Well At Night<\/strong>, knowing you have a strategy that fits what you
