Hi, I’m Laura!
I’m so glad you’re here.
Do you feel like you’re ready to get ahead financially, but you don’t know where to even start?
You make a great income, but you keep wondering where it all goes at the end of each month?
Deep down you know you should be further along with your money by now, but getting a handle on the day-to-day expenses feels almost impossible. There are SO many moving pieces to your family finances and it feels like it’s all too much to juggle.
On top of that, you don’t know how to talk to your spouse about money without it turning into an argument. The financial frustration and tension in your household is real and all of this keeps you up at night.
Please know, it does NOT have to be this way.
You just need a better plan for your money. One that BOTH you and your spouse can feel really good about and helps you connect everyday financial choices with the long-term vision for your life.
If you feel constantly overtaken by financial stress and overwhelm, I can help.

The G. Family
Laura broke everything down for us and made us feel comfortable with sharing the good, the bad and the ugly of our finances. She gave us a realistic plan to cut the debt and still be able to save for our emergency fund and vacations. We have learned so much and now have a better understanding of how to get to financial freedom.
The Zamora Family
Before working with Laura I felt lost about my finances with no direction or effectiveness. Laura helped me sort out my finances and move in a purposeful, positive direction. I even changed habits that were plaguing me for years. Now I’m almost debt free and on track for total financial freedom and peace.
