I am so happy you are here and exploring the idea of hiring a private patient advocate.

I am a Board Certified Patient Advocate working directly with patients and families to support them in navigating the maze of the current healthcare system. My goal is to support and empower you to obtain the safe, effective, and compassionate healthcare you need, want, and deserve.

I have 40 years of experience as a Cardiac Ultrasound Technologist (often known as an Echo Tech) so I especially enjoy working with heart patients.

I have worked in hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices and have done clinical trials for ultrasound. I currently do insurance billing for a small psychotherapy practice, so I have an understanding of how to work with Medicare, Medi-Cal and private insurers.

Having served both patients and providers gives me a broad view of the perspectives of each, which makes me a more effective mediator and “translator.”

I have a wealth of knowledge about alternative and complimentary healthcare, such as acupuncture, massage, herbal medicine, and more.

I have supported heart patients, cancer patients, stroke patients, and elders who have ongoing healthcare concerns through their healthcare crises and ongoing healthcare needs and I have been so grateful to have been able to share my experience and expertise with them in easing their journeys through the healthcare system.

In addition to my medical healthcare background I carry a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology and I am an ordained Interfaith Minister.

Not only can I help you manage the logistics of your healthcare experience, I can also effectively support the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of your journey.

I look forward to exploring how I might be of service to you in your healthcare journey!
