About Us

Freedom Financial Planning Solutions

One-on-One Planning Without the Sales Pitch


We believe financial planning should feel personal—not transactional. You’re not just looking for numbers, products, or cookie-cutter advice. You want guidance you can trust, from someone who listens, explains, and stays with you over time. That’s what we do here.


Whether you’re preparing for retirement, navigating a major transition, or just want to know your money is working the way it should, we’ll help you make decisions with clarity and confidence.
