How I Can Help
Through compassionate listening and presence I work with families to identify their values and goals in addressing illness or end of life. I advocate for clients (patients and families) in their homes and in long-term care facilities. I help families set up social care networks to support caring for loved ones while reducing risk of burnout. My understanding of family dynamics and caregiver stress allows me to address not only health related issues but also life care.
I support families seeking to specify advanced directives and end of life care. I assist with navigation and research on insurance coverage, access to care, support and benefits. I help clients find the best supports and care for them.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I've been following this path toward advocacy since a dear elder friend died in hospital a decade ago. My brother died of sepsis after a long stay in hospital and critical care setting. My paraplegic brother-in-law died from complications of a stage 4 pressure sore. A beloved cousin who had all the financial resources one could dream of, died after a long hospitalization and cancer treatments. He died within ten days of being released from hospital. Being a witness to these long illnesses and hard deaths without an advocate or the presence of a social worker to help us understand the complexities of the medical care and see the reality of the situation has inspired me to do all I can to help families feel empowered, with the knowledge and support to see their loved ones reach the most comfortable, loving and dignified end of life possible.
When facing critical illness or uncertainty, we can be overwhelmed by decisions, and feel that we can't absorb the information doctors provide. Is it even enough information on which to base your decision? When in a crisis I can be an advocate and guide for research, formulating questions, and connecting families to needed social resources and supports.
