My initial passion for helping people first began when I became a Physical Therapist over 25 years ago. Working directly with patients, it became apparent to me that many of my clients were struggling to understand their insurance, how it worked, and often they were on the wrong plan for their care needs. This often resulted in a decreased quality of care and an increased out-of-pocket expense to them.

Therefore, it was a natural decision for me to start my own insurance agency. The passion and innate sense of advocacy I experienced as a Physical Therapist is what encompasses my insurance business. It is at the heart of how I approach each client’s needs. Together we will work to find a solution that is always best for you. Once you choose your plan I will be right there every step of the way now and in the future.
