GUIDING YOUR WEALTH
TOWARD YOUR DESTINATION.

I’m Patrick Thompson, Accredited Wealth Management Advisor™, and I’ve spent over 18 years guiding pre-retirees toward financial clarity as they approach retirement.

As your fiduciary advisor, my job is to navigate the terrain, carry the complexity, and help you turn your savings into a tax-smart retirement paycheck so you can focus on living the life you’re working hard to build.

Every step we take together is intentional, and every route is carefully planned to move you toward your retirement goals with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re in nearby Dana Point or across the country. I’m here to chart your path through the last 5-10 working years and beyond.

If you’ve got 20 minutes and want to see what a clear retirement income and tax plan could look like for you, let’s hop on a call to see if we’re a good fit.

THE SENTIENT APPROACH

Over the years, I’ve learned that true financial success isn’t achieved by following a generic map, it’s built by charting your own path into and through retirement.

The Sentient Approach is the framework I’ve refined through decades of guiding pre-retirees toward a clear retirement income and tax plan. I study the landscape ahead, anticipate the obstacles, and choose the path that supports the life you actually want.

Together, we’ll navigate changing markets, evolving tax rules, and adjust to life’s terrain, making confident decisions at every turn in the last 5-10 years before retirement and beyond. With The Sentient Approach, you’ll never walk the path alone.
