How I Can Help
As a medical crisis hits, it can feel like everything falls on you.

As a professional healthcare advocate, I help families navigate the healthcare system, make informed decisions, and find trusted tools and support—so you don't have to figure it out alone.

Discharge Planning, Transition to Home, & Home Care Setup—I specialize in helping families prepare for discharge from hospitals and rehab facilities. I collaborate with the care team, translate what each discipline is saying, and make sure your rights are protected. My focus is ensuring the discharge plan matches your real-life goals—not just the system’s. Once home, I guide you through safe setup, mobility planning, and follow-up care.

Family Caregiver Support—Whether you're new to caregiving or facing burnout, I provide practical tools, emotional support, and practical resources tailored to your needs. Healthcare Survival Kit has the first-of-it’s-kind digital course to help you navigate discharge, make sure your home is safe, and help you find your new normal as a caregiver. As a social worker, I also bring my skills to manage any family's dynamics.

Care Coordination—Either virtually or in-person, I can help organize and coordinate the multiple specialty appointments and ensure the right questions get asked (we all forget them when we’re the patient in the room). I can help manage provider communication as I help streamline care and reduce confusion.

Insurance & Billing Help—Need help with denied claims, out-of-network surprises, or confusing EOBs? I offer step-by-step guidance through medical billing and appeals.

Patient Advocacy & Rights Education—I work with you and for you to ask the right questions, understand care options, and advocate for your best outcome.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Healthcare Advocacy is both professional and personal

I hold a Bachelor's in Social Work and spent over a decade in healthcare, including home health and Social Work hospital discharge planning at a Level 1 Trauma Center. I’ve walked with hundreds of families who were overwhelmed by navigating the healthcare system, making high-stakes medical decisions, and trying to protect their loved one’s dignity and rights.

Then it became personal.

I became a caregiver when our son experienced a devastating orthopedic injury. Later, I walked through my own medical crisis. Most recently, I’ve been managing my husband’s complex care (the five-day hospital stay became a 120-day hospital stay). He is home and still making meaningful recovery. I built Healthcare Survival Kit to offer patient and caregiver support and real-world, hands-on tools to families like mine.

I know what it feels like to sit in waiting rooms, chase answers, and make big decisions with limited information. I also know how powerful it is to have someone on your side who understands the system and can simplify the process.

That’s why I founded Healthcare Survival Kit. My role is to be a steady hand beside you—to translate, advocate, and walk with you through whatever comes next. Whether you need help coordinating care, appealing a denial, or finding trusted family caregiver resources, I’m here to help you carry the load.
