How I help

One steady person, through every part of complex care

When illness or aging turns life upside down, I become your single point of contact — so nothing falls through the cracks and you never face a hard decision alone.

Understand your diagnosis & options

I help you make sense of a complex or serious diagnosis, prepare the right questions, and weigh your options so you can decide with confidence.

Appointment support

I attend appointments with you — in person or by video — take notes, ask the hard questions, and make sure your concerns are heard.

Care coordination

I keep your doctors, specialists, and facilities on the same page, so your care is connected instead of scattered.

Support for aging parents

Managing a parent's care from out of town? I'm your eyes, ears, and advocate here on the Monterey Peninsula.

Second opinions

When a diagnosis or plan doesn't sit right, I help you find and organize a trusted second opinion.

Bills, insurance & Medicare

I review medical bills for errors, appeal denied claims, and help you understand your Medicare options — so you stop overpaying.

Who I help

If any of this sounds familiar, I can help

  • You or a loved one just received a serious or confusing diagnosis.
  • You're managing an aging parent's care from another city.
  • You're drowning in appointments, specialists, and paperwork.
  • A treatment plan doesn't feel right and you want a second opinion.
  • You're facing a stack of medical bills or a denied insurance claim.
  • You need help choosing or understanding a Medicare plan.

How I work
"I work only for you. I accept no referral fees or commissions from hospitals, facilities, or insurers — my only loyalty is to you and your family."

I provide information and coordination, not medical or legal advice. My job is to help you understand your choices and be heard — the decisions always stay yours.

Independent & conflict-free

No kickbacks, no hidden incentives. I answer to you alone.

Confidential & private

What you share stays between us. Your privacy is protected.

Calm & responsive

A steady voice when things feel urgent or overwhelming.

Local, and here for you
