How I Can Help
Your care is my passion. I've created a Care on Care model that offers comprehensive benefits for patients at every step of their care journey. Shared Care Sessions are virtual group appointments for people who may have a few questions and are seeking support from others. Care Guidance Sessions are one on one sessions that offer virtual support for people who may want someone by their side but are comfortable managing their care. Direct Care on Care Support is a one on one service for people who prefer to have an advocate take a more direct approach. Your Care, Your Way!

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Although I've been an unofficial patient advocate for 20 years, Covid-19 pushed me to investigate methods of advocacy that will work for everyone. I've lost loved ones to the disease and I also work with patients who have the disease.
As a family member caring for loved ones navigating the health system, is exhausting. In addition to clinical practice and raising my family, I teach healthcare delivery and policy in health professional programs. Understanding the healthcare system, insurance structure, and billing practices have helped my friends and family to respond to their health needs, rather than react.
I want to humanize care for patients and raise their voices to receive the care they want, their way!
