I approach coaching and allyship with creativity, curiosity, and compassion. I will begin each collaborative session familiarized with your provided history and I will be prepared with pertinent discussion points. Appropriate care is a process shaped by your interests and preferences, the healthcare options available to you, and not so much a singular defined path. Where there are elements of choice, we have the opportunity to personalize your approach.

I am not a medical or mental health professional, so I do not make decisions for you regarding specific treatments. However, I will guide and assist you with health related decision-making. For new care concepts we may discuss, I will direct you to your providers for follow up. I strive for to you to experience clarity in your approach and assist you in obtaining care that honors your interests and preferences.

I uphold the standards of practice of health care advocacy and Code of Ethics defined by the National Association of Healthcare Advocacy (NAHAC).
