Our Services
Medicare
Navigating Medicare can be overwhelming, but I’m here to make it simple. Together, we’ll go over your healthcare needs and walk through the differences between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and prescription drug plans. I’ll help you compare options, find the best plan for your doctors and medications, and make sure you enroll on time to avoid any penalties. I’ll also be here to support you each year as your needs or plans change.
Life Insurance
Your life insurance should protect what matters most to you. I’ll take the time to understand your family, financial goals, and any existing coverage you have. From there, I’ll help you decide between term and permanent options, walk you through the application and underwriting process, and recommend any helpful riders. I’ll make sure your policy is tailored to your life today—and can adjust as your life changes.
Dental Insurance
Dental coverage isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I’ll help you choose a plan that fits your budget and dental care needs. Whether you need basic preventive care or major dental work, I’ll explain the pros and cons of different plans—like PPOs and HMOs—and help you avoid common pitfalls like long waiting periods or low coverage caps. If you need vision or hearing coverage too, I can bundle those for you.
Annuities
If you’re thinking about retirement income, I’ll help you explore whether an annuity fits into your long-term plan. We’ll talk about how much income you’ll need, your risk comfort level, and your desire for guaranteed income. I’ll explain the different types of annuities—fixed, indexed, and variable—in plain language and help you select one that aligns with your goals. I’ll also show you options for income and legacy protection.
