How I Can Help
We plan for many things in life, but not on how to care for our aging or ill loved ones. As a long term RN and Case Manager, my goal is to provide advocacy, education that will help families with decision making and planning through the aging journey. Along the way, fragmentation of care, confusion about choices can occur, which as a problem solver and clinician, I can help to resolve, bringing peace of mind to those involved.
Important Information About Me
  • I offer a FREE Initial Consultation
  • I am insured
  • My geographical area of practice is Dallas, Denton and Collin Counties
Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I have always wanted to be a nurse, and have worked at the bedside, home health and in the insurance world. While there, I was encouraged by an attorney to have my own business as I was able to explain a very ill patient's condition so that the attorney could assist the family with obtaining a guardianship. My own business was a natural transition from being an advocate in the insurance industry and as a long time RN.

Formal Education
RN, Algonquin College, Ontario, Canada
Additional Skills
Given my extensive time work in the health insurance industry, I understand many of the processes with billing and benefits. Catastrophic illnesses/injuries were my specialty, for all age groups and currently my expertise is in geriatrics. I often work with elder law attorneys when there are guardianship issues, often testifying in court and even helping to resolve family conflicts when there is disagreement about meeting the care needs of an elder.
