Professional Details
After spending a decade working as a pharmaceutical representative and in corporate America, I decided to build a business around a need I believed wasn’t being adequately addressed: helping people understand complicated financial and insurance systems and make important decisions with confidence.
For nearly 20 years, our goal has been simple — help our clients create greater security in their lives.
Many of the decisions we help people make involve health insurance, Medicare, taxes, mortgages, retirement, and government programs. These systems can be complicated, and the decisions people make today can have a significant impact on their financial security and peace of mind for years to come.
That’s where we come in.
We don’t believe people should have to navigate these decisions alone. We educate our clients, explain their options in plain English, and provide the hands-on guidance they deserve. Most importantly, we advocate for our clients when they need help.
We assist clients with all forms of health insurance, including individual and family coverage, Medicare, Medicaid, and small-business health insurance. We also help clients navigate the Washington Healthplanfinder and understand how their health insurance decisions can affect their premium tax credits. Our team includes an IRS Enrolled Agent who can provide tax expertise when those issues overlap.
We also help clients understand how traditional mortgages and reverse mortgages can be used as part of a broader strategy to create greater financial security and flexibility.
At the center of everything we do is advocacy. Our clients aren’t numbers or transactions. They are people making some of the most important decisions of their lives, and they deserve someone willing to take the time to explain their options, answer their questions, and help them through the process.
If you read our Google reviews, you’ll see what that philosophy has meant to the people we’ve served over the years.
We help people understand their options, make informed decisions, and create greater security for their future.
And we love helping people do it.

Maximize Your Benefits
Discover important information for your situation.
Married
If you are married, you may be able to collect up to one-half of your spouse’s Social Security benefit. This won’t affect your spouse’s checks. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Divorced
If you are divorced and 62 or older, you may qualify to receive Social Security benefits from your ex-spouse — in addition to your own Social Security payments. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Widowed
If your spouse has passed away, you may be eligible for a survivor benefit. The extra money may be essential for you. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Single
If you are single, and solely responsible for your retirement, making the optimal Social Security claiming decision is particularly important. Ask an RSSA® about your options.
Self-Employed
As a self-employed person, you may be able to decrease your payroll taxes — yet still receive the maximum income from Social Security. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Disability
Social Security can provide valuable disability benefits if you qualify, but these benefits — and how you qualify for them — are often misunderstood. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Immigrant
If you are a lawful permanent resident, but not yet a citizen, you may still qualify for Social Security benefits. Ask an RSSA® for details.
