Support That Fits Your Healthcare Goals
I look forward to helping you navigate the challenges of healthcare. My goal is to see that you are heard and treated with empathy, respect, and attentive care. I offer in-person services and phone consultations.
Care That’s Designed Around You
-
Develop and implement patient-centered care plans in collaboration with the healthcare team to address complex medical, emotional, and practical needs, with an emphasis on chronic medical diagnosis.
-
This is a thorough, room-by-room evaluation of the patients environment that aims to identify and eliminate potential hazards. Accessibility and functionality are observed, modifications will be recommended if occupant safety or independence are jeopardized.
-
I will act as a strong advocate to ensure patients’ voices, values, and preferences are respected in care decisions. I have often found there isn’t a one size fits all in the information and advocacy space, I am here to bridge the gaps between the clinical setting and the heart journey.
-
In my 16 years of medical social work in this community I have developed strong partnerships. I will work with patients, families and community resources to coordinate safe transition from hospital to home or other settings—arranging services such as home health care, skilled nursing, in home caregiving and many other community resources.
-
I am deeply committed to providing compassionate patient-centered support to families and loved ones navigating the end-of-life journey. I believe in meeting people where they are and providing unmitigated emotional, psychological, and spiritual guidance. I believe that care at the end of ones’ life is about more than just comfort, it’s about dignity, connection and healing for the patient and their loved ones.
