I help individuals and families who feel overwhelmed, unheard, or uncertain while navigating healthcare and community-service systems. Using my A3 approach—Assess, Align, Advocate—I identify clients’ needs and concerns, recognize barriers, organize priorities, and clarify available options. My nearly three decades of nursing experience help me bridge communication gaps and identify important questions. I provide independent, nonclinical advocacy and do not replace healthcare providers.

I can assist clients with the following:

- Preparing questions for medical appointments
- Organizing health information, medications, and appointment records
- Attending appointments (virtually or in person) to support communication
- Expressing concerns, goals, and preferences
- Requesting clarification on unclear instructions or treatment options
- Reviewing discharge instructions and organizing follow-up steps
- Identifying barriers related to transportation, housing, food, insurance, or care access
- Researching appropriate healthcare and community resources
- Coordinating communication among clients, families, providers, and service organizations
- Providing three structured follow-ups to ensure connections are made and resolve remaining barriers

I offer virtual advocacy services and in-person support within my service area in Southside Virginia. Travel availability and any associated fees are always discussed prior to the start of services.
