How I Can Help
Managing one's health, whether your own or that of a loved one, can be a complex process disrupting lives, careers and sometimes important relationships. I provide patient advocacy and healthcare navigation for routine care or an unexpected diagnosis. I also offer supportive guidance for more complex medical needs spanning physical and behavioral health where good outcomes depend on coordinated care and collaborative, multidisciplinary teams. My first goal with clients is diagnostic clarity - understanding the whole puzzle, not just one piece - arming you with knowledge and questions to ask, pushing back against assumptions, making sure nothing is overlooked, helping you think over and make informed decisions. My second goal is to ensure your patient experience, engaging with your medical care team, is a positive one and sets the tone and foundation for future care. My work includes connecting clients to top clinicians and assembling a medical team, helping them understand a new diagnosis, obtaining second opinions, coordinating communications, providing support during a crisis and anticipating future goals and priorities.

My practice includes advocacy for the health needs of young adults (ages 18-32) and early-mid career professionals navigating the complexity of U.S. healthcare and insurance. As an independent consultant and health project manager, my value is to help clients take control of their health and have the bandwidth to focus on other priorities - career, personal growth, family and other important relationships.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I became a patient advocate the day my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 4, putting me in the role of co-pilot with the clinical team. This life-altering experience gave me an endocrinologist mentor and other clinical team partners, instilling both hope and core advocacy skills. Since then I’ve spent nearly one third of my adult life engaging providers for medical care spanning pediatric through geriatric health, working together in the same close and trusting partnership. My personal advocacy mission is to spare clients and their loved ones the fear and helplessness I once felt, ensure they have a clear roadmap for care and can make decisions about their health with confidence.
