How I Can Help
At Angel Patient Advocacy I am a nurse who can...

MAKE SENSE OF A DIAGNOSIS THAT FEELS OVERWHELMING
Whether you just received difficult news or have been confused for a long time, I help you understand what is actually happening, what your options are, and what questions need to be asked.

COME WITH YOU TO YOUR APPOINTMENTS
I attend virtually (nationwide) or in person (throughout Marin County and Petaluma) so you have your own personal expert in the room. I help you make the visit effective, make sure your concerns are heard, and leave with clarity instead of more confusion.

COORDINATE YOUR CARE ACROSS PROVIDERS
When you have multiple specialists and no one seems to be talking to each other, I become the consistent person who holds the full picture and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.

REVIEW YOUR MEDICATIONS
Polypharmacy is one of the most common and serious risks for older adults and complex patients. I review your full medication list with you and flag anything that needs a closer look.

BUILD A CARE PLAN THAT WORKS IN YOUR REAL LIFE
A plan your doctor gives you only works if it is actually doable at home. I help translate clinical recommendations into something you can follow, with support to make it stick.

SUPPORT FAMILIES FROM A DISTANCE
If your loved one is in Marin County and you are across the country, I am the person on the ground. I attend appointments, provide clear updates, and make sure your family member is not navigating alone.

AVAILABLE VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES
For clients outside my local area, I offer full teleadvocacy services nationwide.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
As a Registered Nurse with 17 years of experience, I understand how the healthcare system actually works and where it breaks down. I step in to guide your care, clarify decisions, and make sure nothing critical gets missed or lost between providers.
Watching patients navigate serious health situations without real support taught me something I already knew clinically: everyone deserves a nurse in the family. Someone who understands the system, explains what actually matters, and makes sure you are protected every step of the way. That is the role I bring to every patient and family I work with.
I work with a small number of clients at a time so that every person receives the attention their situation deserves. This is not a call center. It is personalized, high touch oversight from someone who genuinely knows your case and shows up for you.
