My 24 years as a nurse have been in acute and chronic adult illnesses. Working in the ICU for many years stirred my passion for helping patients and family members understand their illness and getting to the root cause as well as the best approach to managing it. This passion has served me well, helping friends and family to navigate complex medical diagnoses and understanding their options. I believe it is very important to have a solid understanding of your options and outcomes when navigating your way through a new diagnosis, including seeking second opinions and finding the best provider available, to meet your needs. My career after children evolved into a health and fitness interest. I became a yoga instructor and began to see the benefits of movement on mental and physical health. Therefore, I incorporate the significance of diet, nutrition and movement while guiding patients through disease management. Currently, I work as a nurse in Immediate Care. This experience has provided me with insight into the challenges patients face when deciding on the most suitable healthcare setting for new symptoms. Patients often contemplate whether to visit the ER or Immediate Care, wait for their Primary Care doctor, or go directly to a specialist.

My goal is to carefully and actively listen to your heathcare story then help you identify and communicate your needs. I would like to empower you with knowledge by educating you on your conditions, and treatment options that best fit your medical needs. Navigating through the medical world can be uncertain and stressful. Working on on one with you provides support and knowledge from an experienced Patient Advocate and Registered Nurse. This apporach will help streamline and simplify the process, helping you to make important informed decisions.

During the first 10-15 minutes of our call, I will provide my undivided attention and listen to the information you provide. Together, we will determine your Healthcare needs moving forward. I will offer you some options and education. Your first session will be free. If you feel I am a good fit, then we can initiate a contract.
