Meet Tina—Certified Financial Coach for Couples
My mission is to empower couples to take control of their financial future with confidence — and without judgment. I know what it feels like to be stuck, and I know what it feels like to finally break free. I am here to help you get there too.
My Story
My husband and I were buried in debt. We avoided talking about money because every conversation ended in a fight. It wasn't just stressful — it was putting a real strain on our marriage. We didn't have a plan, and without a plan, we felt completely out of control.
​
We finally hit a breaking point. His work slowed down, the money wasn't coming in, and we knew something had to change. It was either find a solution or watch our finances — and our relationship — fall apart.
​
I was reluctant. I honestly didn't believe a budget would make that much of a difference. But I agreed to try. We sat down together, built a plan, and committed to it — as a team. Within 10 months, we had paid off all of our debt and saved a fully funded emergency fund of four months of expenses. More than that, the way we communicated about money completely transformed. We stopped fighting and started working together toward the same goals.
​
That experience changed everything for me. I became a certified financial coach because I wanted other couples to feel what we felt — that sense of relief, of partnership, of finally being in control. What felt impossible became our greatest victory, and I want that for you too.
Who I Work With
I work virtually with couples across the United States who are ready to stop living paycheck to paycheck and start building a future they are excited about. My clients are typically in their 20s and 30s — maybe newly married and combining finances for the first time, or a few years in and realizing that without a real system, the stress just keeps building.
​
If you and your partner want to eliminate debt, build a budget that actually works for both of you, and finally get on the same page about money — you are exactly who I work with.
My Coaching Philosophy
I believe that managing money is 20% knowledge and 80% behavior. Most couples don't struggle with finances because they aren't smart enough — they struggle because of habits, emotions, and patterns around money that were formed long before they ever met each other. My job is to help you understand those patterns, change the behaviors that are holding you back, and give you a clear, simple plan to follow together.
​
Financial coaching is not about shame or perfection. It is about progress. Every couple I work with starts somewhere different, and every plan looks a little different. What stays the same is the commitment — yours to the process, and mine to you.
My Credentials
I am a certified financial coach with specialized training in behavior-based financial coaching. This means I am equipped not only to help you build a budget and a debt payoff plan, but also to help you uncover the deeper money behaviors and mindsets that have been keeping you stuck. I have walked this path personally with my own family, and I continue to live the principles I teach every day.
If you are ready to find peace, partnership, and a plan that works, I would love to meet you.
