Retirement Coach, Writer, Developmental Psychologist

Jessica McIlvane, PhD

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica! I am a Certified Professional Retirement Coach and Developmental Psychologist, with over 20 years of experience doing research, writing, and teaching about aging. My goal is to help you with the non-financial parts of retirement planning and living. That involves figuring out how you will spend your time, stay socially engaged, stay healthy, and find meaning and purpose in life. Being ready for retirement is about so much more than money. It’s about figuring out what you want for your life, creating your vision, and finally having the time to become who you were always meant to be. Whether you are a Gen Xer who is fast approaching retirement age or you are a retired Boomer stuck in the “Now What,” I can help you navigate the retirement transition and shape a good life for yourself in retirement.
