How I Can Help

Guiding Rare Disease Families

I guide rare disease families by helping them navigate complex medical systems, connecting them to the right resources, specialists, resources, and support networks, rooted in years of hands-on experiences. As an Ehlers Danlos ECHO advocacy trained patient advocate and as  someone who has presented at the rare Disease Council, I offer families a trusted partner in health care coordination.

Coordinating Complex Transitions

I coordinate complex transitions across the lifespan, guiding adolescents from pediatric to adult care services and supporting adults as they navigate retirement and long term care resources.

Advocating Beyond the Clinic

I help families navigate complex medical and community systems, secure funding and benefits, and access the services that support real life needs.

“I believe patients and families deserve clarity, confidence, and compassion in every step of their care. Let me help guide and support you through every step of your care.”
