A career born from her own transition.
Darla’s journey into financial planning began in 2006 during a pivotal time in her life. After her divorce, she became deeply committed to taking control of her financial future, purchasing four investment properties within a year and laying the foundation for long-term wealth. Leaving behind a former career in pharmaceutical chemistry, she transitioned fully into the world of finance, combining personal experience with professional education to guide others on similar journeys.
Education and credentials.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from UCLA, a Certificate in Personal Financial Planning from UC Irvine, and maintains both the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®) designations, along with Series 7 license through LPL Financial and Series 66 license through Independent Advisor Alliance.
How Darla works with clients.
Darla brings a warm, empathetic, and deeply personal approach to her work. She believes financial planning is never one-size-fits-all, it’s about translating a client’s unique values and vision into a plan that works today, tomorrow, and into the future.
Outside of her professional life, Darla is passionate about helping others find confidence in their financial decisions and lives by the same principles she teaches, leading with intention, clarity, and long-term perspective.
Outside the firm.
Darla finds joy in financial planning, hot yoga, baking, and supporting animal-focused philanthropic causes.
