The Central Coast has been my home my entire life. My professional career has spanned many areas of social services, as a client advocate and medical social worker serving the underserved. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. With over 20 years of social work experience, I am well versed in the language and practices of physicians, nurses, hospices, and other health care professionals. I have extensive knowledge of local community service resources.

I founded Elder Allies because I have encountered many aging loved ones facing daunting questions about their health and future care. Families wanted a trusted guide to help them navigate through difficult discussions and complex topics.

As your Healthcare Manager and partner, I can answer your questions and concerns about life transitions. I will help you thoroughly plan and prepare so that your loved one will receive compassionate care when it is needed. From managing, for example, simple tasks such as obtaining and delivering prescriptions or accompanying your loved one to a doctor’s appointment, to guiding you with hospice placement, I will help match your personal wishes with the most appropriate services available.

I am committed to working with you in a positive, supportive relationship and helping you move toward the next significant life transition.
