How I Can Help
Healthcare can be overwhelming, especially when you or someone you love is facing a serious diagnosis, hospitalization, changes in care needs, or difficult medical decisions. You shouldn't have to navigate these challenges alone.
As a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of healthcare experience and a Board-Certified Patient Advocate, I help individuals and families understand their options, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions with confidence.
Through Lend A Helping Hand Healthcare Advocates, I provide independent, personalized support with healthcare navigation, medical appointments, care coordination, hospital and facility transitions, insurance and benefits reviews, long-term care planning, and family communication.
Whether you're advocating for an aging parent, managing a complex medical situation, or simply unsure of what steps to take next, I help you understand what's happening, identify available resources, and develop a clear plan forward.
My role is to ensure your concerns are heard, your questions are answered, and your healthcare decisions reflect your needs, values, and priorities.
The healthcare system provides information. I help you understand what it means for you and your family.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My passion for patient advocacy began long before I established Lend A Helping Hand Healthcare Advocates. Throughout my nursing career, I repeatedly witnessed patients and families struggling to understand their healthcare options, access available resources, and make important decisions during some of life's most difficult moments.
My experience in skilled nursing facilities, hospice, palliative care, and healthcare coordination gave me a firsthand understanding of the gaps that exist within our healthcare system. I saw families overwhelmed by medical terminology, confused about insurance coverage, and unaware of services and benefits that could significantly improve their loved one's quality of life.
What concerned me most was that many of these challenges were not caused by a lack of available resources, but by a lack of clear information, guidance, and someone willing to help connect the dots.
After more than 20 years in nursing, I expanded my commitment to patients by becoming a Board-Certified Patient Advocate and establishing my independent advocacy practice.
Today, I have the privilege of standing beside patients and families as they navigate healthcare decisions. I bring both clinical knowledge and a genuine commitment to ensuring that no one feels unheard, overlooked, or left to figure everything out alone.
I believe every patient deserves to be informed, respected, and supported, and every family deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing they have someone knowledgeable in their corner.
Clarity is the kindest form of care.
