How I Can Help
As an independent advocate I am here to represent you and your goals. We begin with honest, direct conversations about your goals guided by your beliefs — and to make sure these are the ones driving the plan.
After becoming clear on what you want. Not what the system expects, not what’s easiest — what matters to you. From there, we build a plan together and work with your clinical team to align it with your real treatment options. At any time if your goals change we will adjust the plan. I can even attend appointments if your support cannot attend. This is full service advocacy.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, mid-treatment, managing a chronic illness, or supporting someone you love, I bring both professional training and lived experience to every conversation. You don’t have to translate your fear into the right words alone. That’s what I’m here for.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
In 2014, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and given six weeks to live. What followed was a decade of fighting — more than 160 rounds of infusions, multiple biopsies, brain surgery, a full hysterectomy, and more appointments than I can count across four major cancer centers. I’m still here. And I believe fully that it is possible to lead a rich, meaningful life while managing a serious chronic illness.
My advocacy began the way most do — with myself. I had to learn how to navigate a system that wasn’t designed with the overwhelmed patient in mind. I had to figure out how to speak up, ask harder questions, and make sure my own goals were part of the conversation. Over time, I started doing the same for friends, then peers, then people I’d never met — in the U.S. and in Europe.
What I know from that experience is this: having an advocate who has been there — not just trained, but there — changes everything. I didn’t have that.
I am here to help you.
