Uncover and understand the roots of your financial conflicts
Hi, I’m Ed!
I’m an expert in helping clients develop financial intimacy. I help them stop money fights and reconnect when they’re not on the same page about money. I’m one of only 50 financial therapists in the U.S. and a licensed marriage and family therapist (CFP®, LMFT, CFT-I™). Plus I have an MBA and was a financial advisor before becoming a therapist.
Working as a financial advisor I realized that helping people develop financial plans, budgets, investments, and wealth management isn’t enough. Without addressing the deeper psychological aspects of the person, none of it made a big difference in my clients' lives. People still made decisions that weren’t in their best interests. Many had unresolved conflicts with their partners about their core beliefs about money.
I help my clients resolve money conflicts, discover their core money beliefs, develop emotional intimacy, and learn how to communicate more effectively about money. I help them understand how their past has influenced their present. Then these couples can feel like a “team” when it comes to their money.
I understand this process deeply. I began my life as a firefighter. Now with three graduate degrees, I still find myself confronting issues about money in my own life and marriage. Through the processes I teach, my wife and I have been able to develop trust, intimacy, and security on a level that wasn’t always present in our marriage.
Simply put, I get it and I can help you get it too.
TESTIMONIALS

FTA Board Member and Student of Marriage and Family Therapy
You brought up SO many things I never would have thought of. Financial infidelity, family secrets, and wealth transfers were something I never thought of as part of my money history. The last lesson really brings everything together on how this family tree exercise can have an impact on how I actually live in my day-to-day life.

This is a phenomenal resource! You provide so much content in such a short time. I think genograms are so complicated to teach and you break it down in such an easy to understand way without losing the necessity complexities that are required to see the full ‘picture’. It was enjoyable to listen to and made me want to spread the word of the Family Money Tree to all my friends, family, and colleagues.

The Family Money Tree course was helpful in bringing awareness to the emotions and behaviors that surround money in my life and in the lives of my family members. This new found perspective and understanding has empowered me to be thankful for things that are going well and provides clarity for making changes where they need to be made. The course called attention to habits and other learned behaviors that can be changed for financial intelligence and healing to take place. Thank you for offering this information in such a simple, yet profound way.
