How I Can Help
I provide peer-based advocacy and support for people navigating chronic illness, disability, mental health challenges, grief, and trauma related to harm experienced within medical systems. I offer practical guidance, emotional support, and collaborative care planning to help you feel more grounded and supported in your decisions.

Together, we can:

• Create a Psychiatric Advance Directive
• Explore treatment options, resources, and supports
• Navigate grief related to chronic illness, pain, and disability
• Use grounding tools for nervous system support (meditation, breathwork, etc.)
• Build support networks and reduce isolation
• Support communication with loved ones about care and boundaries
• Process overwhelm, uncertainty, and identity changes
• Explore collaborative, values-aligned care options
• Build rest, pacing, and daily support strategies for chronic illness/disability

•Certified Trainer, Recovery Coaching: A Harm Reduction Pathway
•Certified MAT Advocate
•Certified Body Trust® Specialist
I bring both professional experience in peer support and behavioral health advocacy, and lived and living experience as a survivor navigating chronic illness, disability, trauma, and mental health challenges. I understand how isolating and overwhelming healthcare and support systems can be, especially when people are not believed, heard, or adequately supported.
Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I became a patient advocate because I know how difficult and isolating healthcare systems can be, especially when people are not heard or believed. My lived experience with chronic illness, disability, trauma, and neurodivergence shapes how I support others.

I aim to help people feel supported, informed, and empowered in their care decisions. I combine lived experience and professional training to offer peer coaching that centers the whole person, not just a diagnosis.
