Who We Are


Our Evolution

Catalyst Financial and Insurance Solutions emerges as a beacon of financial expertise, founded by Christina Mendoza and Robert Couse. Together, Mendoza and Couse bring forth an impressive 25 years of collective industry wisdom that has shaped the landscape of their professional journey.

This wealth of experience served as the catalyst for the creation of Catalyst Financial, a firm distinctly rooted in principles of autonomy and a genuine holistic approach to financial solutions.

In an industry often clouded by complexity, Catalyst Financial is a guiding light, providing tailored solutions that address the diverse and unique needs of each client. With a focused dedication, they ensure that clients not only receive financial services but also embark on a journey towards comprehensive financial well-being, underpinned by trust, expertise, and a commitment to autonomy.

Our Role

We operate under a fiduciary standard of care, which means that we strive to work in our client’s best interest through a duty of loyalty and care, putting their interests above our own. We are required to provide accurate information, conduct financial analyses thoroughly, and execute your financial strategies in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

The nature of our work allows us to be there for our clients during life’s most incredible journeys—getting married, having children, retiring, and much more. In these moments, we build relationships with our clients that we treasure for a lifetime. Our clients are our family, and we treat them as such.
