How I Can Help
I have been the patient, the sister, the daughter/granddaughter, the mother, the caregiver, the nurse, the manager and the director.

I know the system.
I know the fear.
And I know how to help.

I help you understand what’s happening, what to expect, and what your options are — especially when care needs become complicated or overwhelming.

My approach includes:

• Nurse-led assessments to understand the full picture
• Personalized care plans based on your goals and priorities
• Ongoing guidance and support when needs change
• Membership options for continued help and coordination
• Structured programs designed to educate and empower families
• Planning ahead to help prevent crises and rushed decisions
• Support for couples and families navigating care together
• Helping families feel more confident and less overwhelmed

My goal is to bring clarity, direction, and peace of mind.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
After more than 20 years as a nurse, I thought I understood the healthcare system. I had seen most everything, if not through my work, through my personal healthcare experiences.

However, caring for my 95 year old grandfather, shaped my approach today. I focus on helping families understand the full picture, how and what to ask, what to look for, how to plan ahead, and make thoughtful decisions with greater confidence without regret.

As an Advocate I provide:

• Proprietary RIGHT™ nurse-led model guiding assessment, planning, and advocacy
• Perspective as the patient, family member, and healthcare provider
• 22+ years of clinical nursing experience across multiple care settings
• Specialized experience in pediatrics, senior care, complex care of all ages, hospitalizations and transition
• Background in hospice, emergency/critical care, home care leadership, and home infusion
• Experience working across 20+ areas of medicine, including pediatric, senior and palliative care
• Leadership experience as Director, Charge Nurse, and Nurse Manager
• Experience supporting military/veterans and their families
• Teaching-focused advocacy — helping families understand and confidently manage care
• Proactive planning approach to help reduce crisis-driven decisions
• Interdependent planning for couples and family systems
• Strong ability to identify gaps, risks, and overlooked opportunities
• Bridge between families and fragmented healthcare systems
