About

You’re a bright, capable woman at a crossroads.

Maybe you’re struggling to go through the transition from a full-time career to retirement. Maybe you're recovering from the loss of a spouse. It can be jarring to realize that you’re not sure which decisions are the best decisions for you, your family, and your money.

That’s where I can help.

I’m Russ Thornton and I’m the financial advisor and founder here at Wealthcare For Women, where I help women manage their money with confidence. I have over 25 years experience managing wealth and have helped many women and their families create financial plans for retirement, caring for aging parents, supporting adult children, savings, investments, and most importantly, living a great life.

But truly, it’s the heart of my business that drives what I do.

I help women get organized and gain confidence with their money.

As a fee-only, fiduciary financial planner, I’m legally bound to act in my clients’ best interest. I’m here to help you make empowered decisions about your money, and start using your wealth in a way that brings you happiness and fulfillment. Whether you’ve never managed your family’s money before, or you’re the brains behind your household’s finances, I’d love to talk to you.

Why this is important to me.

I’m a numbers guy at heart, but I watched my own mother go through financial hardship after a divorce when I was growing up. She was smart and confident, and did an incredible job working hard after her divorce. But, it wasn’t enough. She struggled financially and emotionally to make ends meet, and ended up filing for bankruptcy.

Looking back, I wish she had had someone in her corner. I wish she had someone looking out for her best interests, who could have helped to guide her through some of the biggest (and most stressful) financial decisions of her life.
