With the heart of a teacher, the passion of an athlete, and the knowledge of a seasoned professional, I equip my clients to achieve lasting financial security.

Before becoming a Wealth Management Advisor, I practiced as a physical therapist. While finance and physical therapy may seem unrelated on the surface, my clinical training informs my approach to serving clients in my practice, Cappelle Wealth Management. Just as physical therapists diagnose complex issues and help patients reach their goals through a focused process, financial advising requires a willingness to look beyond the obvious, understand relationships between many different components, and guide clients toward their goals. My team and I are skilled at getting to the root issues, managing ambiguity, and problem-solving to achieve meaningful results.

Committed to working alongside our clients, we take a collaborative, client-centric approach. Over time, our clients often become friends and trust us to deliver accurate, personalized financial expertise, no matter what life holds. Whether our clients are considering a career transition or have a financial goal of investing in property, they know they can rely on my team and me for a thoughtful perspective that acknowledges their entire financial picture.

While my name is represented in the business, our clients benefit from so much more than my own expertise.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in math and a master’s degree from Marquette University. I enjoy being active with the MU alumni community and supporting both Feed My Starving Children and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. I love spending time with my daughters, Grace and Ella. "Do It Yourself" home projects are also a bit of a hobby, and I’m always up for a round of golf with friends.
