WHAT I DO​

I specialize in guiding individuals through the complexities of the healthcare system. Some individuals grapple with chronic health conditions as they age, requiring support to navigate healthcare optimization and maintain a fulfilling life despite their ailments. Others need assistance during their final years. My approach involves active listening, thorough research, presentation of viable options, and the empowerment of clients and their families. I proactively take steps, facilitating communication with healthcare providers and families to ensure that the client’s preferences and wishes are heard.
