Meet Your Adviser
Experience Rooted in Healthcare and Financial Guidance

Elizabeth L J. Smith
Elizabeth L J. Smith, Owner and Director, brings together a unique blend of 30 years as a nurse and over a decade in insurance and financial services. This rare combination ensures that every recommendation is informed by practical care experience and a deep understanding of how health and wealth intersect for families. Clients often share how this background makes every conversation more empathetic, clear, and practical—especially during high-stakes transitions. The result is an adviser who brings calm, structure, and clarity to every interaction.
Decades in healthcare taught Elizabeth how important clear, compassionate guidance is—especially when people face complicated choices. She approaches every insurance conversation with the same dedication to education and personal service that defined her nursing career. For clients, this means decisions are explained in plain language, every option is covered, and no question goes unanswered. This care-first, education-driven approach makes the complexities of insurance more manageable.
