How I Can Help
I hand families the roadmap the healthcare system never wanted them to have.
The rules are stacked so you’ll stop asking questions, give up, pay the bill, or accept the unsafe discharge. None of that's by accident.
That's why I step in.
When hospitals push unsafe discharges, I stop them. When insurance companies deny what they owe, I don’t take no for an answer. When medical bills are wrong—and most are—I dig in, demand proof, and refuse to let families get crushed.
I hand families the roadmap the healthcare system never wanted them to have. I exist to solve problems healthcare creates, we stand in the gaps that patients fall through, and to get the hardest things done when it matters most.
Everyday, that looks like:
* A complex orthopedic injury, unexpected surgical complications, or a new spinal cord or brain injury and no clear path forward? I create a roadmap that honors the patient’s goals, respects the family’s resources, and avoids the pitfalls the system ignores.
* Giving all your time and energy to a complex patient at the hospital, facility, or at home? I align on priorities, start working, and get things done to give you time and space to breathe.
* You don’t have to guess if home is still safe for aging parents. I show you the strengths and risks and point to the right solutions—wether it’s more support at home or moving into care.
* A stack of bills and denial letters designed to intimidate? I cut through the jargon, call the insurer’s bluff, and make them play fair.
I don’t just sit in the chaos — I name it, dismantle it, and guide families through it.
Because I’ve been on the inside as a medical social worker, I know the hard truths the system won’t tell you. I’m not afraid of tough conversations —whether that’s holding an insurance company accountable or telling your mom what she doesn’t want to hear about care planning.
How can I help? I take the problems no one else wants to touch, and I fix them. Not passively. But with truth, strategy, and relentless persistence.
I get sh!t done.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I didn’t set out to become a healthcare advocate. The broken healthcare system made me one.
For 13 years, I worked as a medical social worker in hospitals, home health, and other settings. I’ve seen just about everything, and nothing rattles me. I know what really happens behind the "curtain of care”—how insurance companies drag their feet, how hospitals rush discharges, how families are left to scramble in the dark.
And then the system came for my own family.
First, it was our teenage son. One moment he was whole, the next he was in the hospital with a badly fractured leg, facing a long, grueling recovery. I was thrown into the chaos with bills, the wrong insurance plan, the endless navigation—all while trying to keep my family steady. I learned fast: when healthcare breaks, it breaks hard.
Then came my husband. What should have been simple turned into an 18-month nightmare— misdiagnoses, surgical complications, failed discharge planning, and watching a strong man relearn how to walk while I slept on an air mattress in a rehab room. During that season, I was the sole breadwinner, the sole caregiver, and the one person standing between him and a system that treated him like a number.
And just to drive the point home, life piled on a lightning strike to our house, a dog living at a boarding vet, sleepless nights, and the brutal realization that no one was coming to rescue us.
One night, my husband said, “I wish we could take everything you know and everything we’ve lived through and use it to help other people.” He was right. Because what we survived wasn’t just bad luck, it was proof of how broken the system really is.
So when I got laid off days later, I didn’t see it as a setback. I saw it as a dare. A chance to stop playing nice, stop keeping quiet, and start building something that would rip away the confusion, the silence, and the fear families face every day.
That’s why I started Healthcare Survival Kit.
I exist to call out the system’s BS, to stand in the cracks where families get crushed, and to guide caregivers and patients toward power, clarity, and relief. I’ve got the professional chops, the personal scars, and the grit to do what the system won’t: prioritize patients, solve problems, and break barriers.
