Our Story

Twelve years ago, DSS Consulting was only an idea. What began as a seminar series for women back in 1987 has grown into something far greater. By helping you gain clarity and confidence in your retirement, I find purpose in every class, webinar, and consultation. Guiding you is what makes this work truly meaningful.

Throughout every stage of this journey, I’ve stayed committed to providing clear, empowering information that helps you build the retirement you deserve. This work matters deeply to me, and I’m proud of its impact. I’m stepping into the next chapter with even greater energy and purpose.

You are the reason DSS Consulting exists.

Self-Learning? Yes, please!

  • Topics range from Essential Retirement Planning, Understanding Social Security and Medicare, Estate Planning and many more.

    Your choice. Your time. Our expertise.

    Each video comes with downloadable materials including ‘5 Actionable Steps’ to guide you from learning to doing.

  • At DSS Consulting, doing is as important as learning! Each video has paired materials to ensure that you can put the information to work. No more worries about what to do next…we’ve got you covered!

  • Watch the same video more than once. Pause it, if you need to. Our courses are short bites of useable information.

    New courses updated monthly.
