SERVICESHealth Navigation & Patient Advocacy
My passion is helping individuals access effective and financially sustainable care to regain progress and improve wellness. I specialize in identifying and removing barriers to care, preparing for appointments, supporting follow-up, and helping clients navigate complex decisions – all while working toward a better quality of life.
One hour phone call sessions entail in-depth discussion and strategy planning. Short-notice, evening, and weekend follow up sessions are available.
To provide individuals the highest quality support, I uphold the standard of practice and code of ethics as defined by the National Association of Healthcare Advocacy (NAHAC). I believe quality health navigation and patient advocacy should be accessible to the individuals and families who need it.

COLLABORATION TOPICS
We Can Navigate Together
Care Navigation & Access
Clarify what support, providers, facilities, therapies, or next steps may better align with your needs, goals, and insurance coverage. Together, we can identify barriers to care and organize practical steps toward accessing the support you are seeking.
Symptom & Protocol Strategy
Talk through symptoms, patterns, supports, protocols, and daily management strategies in a structured way. We can organize what is helping, what is not, what questions remain, and what may need provider follow-up.
Appointment Preparation
Prepare for medical appointments with clear goals, organized history, concise questions, and prioritized concerns. This can help make provider visits more focused, efficient, and productive.
Follow-Up & Care Coordination
After appointments, we can review what was discussed, clarify next steps, organize referrals, labs, treatment considerations, or lingering questions, and help you stay oriented as your care plan evolves.
Research-Informed Questions
When helpful, I can explore research concepts, care options, and relevant information to help you develop thoughtful questions for your providers. This support is educational and intended to strengthen provider conversations, not replace medical advice.
Progress, Confidence & Quality of Life
Health challenges can affect daily life, confidence, and momentum. We can identify practical supports, celebrate areas of progress, adjust strategies when needed, and keep your goals and quality of life at the center of the process.
