Unlocking Abundance

Hi, I’m Liesha! (Pronounced Lee-sha)

I’m an Accredited Financial Counselor & Financial Coach, and it’s my mission to guide individuals, couples and solopreneurs towards aligning their Money Mindset with their Money Management!

As an Accredited Financial Counselor by the Association of Financial Counseling & Planning Education, I have completed over 1000hrs doing what I’m most passionate about–helping my clients wrap their head’s around their money by addressing both their “feels” and their numbers!

I have a desire to understand your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about money. By meeting you exactly where you are, in a judgement-free space, we become detectives looking to identify any counterproductive underlying money beliefs and money management habits that are misaligned with your values and goals. We also work together to come up with immediate remedies to relieve the stress associated with your most pressing financial challenges.

This process is unique as it includes Financial Coaching using active listening, empathy and intentionality to understand where you’re coming from and pinpoint exactly where you’d like to go, plus, layers in Financial Counseling which provides tactical, strategic and actionable next-steps via a customized, clear and sustainable plan.

In other words–you get to ditch the old thoughts, feelings and habits that have been keeping you from where you’d like to be financially and walk away with a clear, sustainable and transformative new plan–all allowing you to step into your power and become your best, financially abundant, YOU.

Who I Work With

Individuals who feel..

..overwhelmed by their current mode of money management, or lack of it. Perhaps you often feel the stress of living “paycheck-to-paycheck” and the never-ending game of playing catch-up, simply trying to exist in the present by using today’s money to pay yesterday’s bills.

..worried because you’re going through a life transition (a divorce, job loss or income cut, taking on a new financial responsibility) and you just can’t see a way to make the money you currently have work.

..pinched on a fixed income, and like you’re really behind with savings, and the stress of supporting yourself in the future is weighing on you.

..just weird and uncomfortable spending your own money, even if not in dire straits financially.

..frustrated because you make good money, but you have no clue where it all goes!

..perplexed at how to cover both unexpected expenses, as well as those “once-in-a-while” large bills that show up out of nowhere; lacking the forecasting and saving-ahead tools that keep you from turning to credit cards in a crisis!

..shame when having to apply for credit or loans due to a low credit score, or being penalized for carrying debt.

..confused, rightly, trying to exist in a web of too many options, complicated financial products, and so many hoops to jump though in order to gain any traction towards your financial goals. Unsure of what to do, in what order, and feeling stuck about where to even start!

Couples who feel..

..tired of arguing about money. Because you each have your own financial experiences, upbringings, and expectations, you don’t always see eye-to-eye when it comes to how you feel about, and how you desire to manage, money together. Perhaps you are unsure about whether to combine finances or keep them separate, and what the options even are for managing the household cash-flow in an easy and automated way.

Solopreneurs who feel..

..in the dark around their own business finances. You’re excellent at how you make money but you, rightly, do not have the expertise to set up a clear and sustainable system to manage your personal and business expenses. Perhaps you have yet to fully separate your personal and business, or you have no idea how many widgets you actually need to sell in order to meet your business expenses and pay yourself. And, how much can you actually afford to pay yourself, regularly and consistently? What would you have more time for, if there was an easy and reliable system in place?
