Individuals with illness may feel the need for more meaningful treatment as well as practical solutions for improving day-to-day experience. Identifying meaningful treatment is a common goal for those with unmanaged conditions, but obtaining it can prove unexpectedly challenging. I understand the complications in navigating complex health pathways and methods to help solve them, both as a professional and individual navigating a complex diagnosis.

Since 2013, I have had the unique opportunity to follow the daily, long-term experiences of hundreds of individuals with various unmanaged or chronic conditions in a professional, non-medical setting. In 2018, I sought my own diagnosis and management for a rare disease of the neuromuscular junction. Through these experiences, I have gained a number of skills and knowledge that make navigating cumbersome health scenarios more fulfilling and efficient.

My passion is helping individuals obtain what they may need to regain progress and wellness. I specialize in assisting with health related decision making, symptom management, appointment preparation, daily dealings, and protocol reviews, all while building quality of life.

One hour phone call sessions entail detailed discussion of your experiences and our exploration of new ideas and strategies. 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).
