I am a survivor of Lupus, Fibromyalgia, POTs, Eczema, IBS.

With a background in the Natural Sciences and over a decade of experience in Genetics Technology, I’ve spent years immersed in the details of how our bodies work. Combining that scientific knowledge with my lived experience, I founded Straight from the Heart Patient Advocacy to help others find clarity, confidence, and compassion in their healthcare journeys.

At Straight from the Heart Patient Advocacy, I guide clients through the entire process—from understanding test results and communicating effectively with doctors, to coordinating care and making sense of complex medical information.

Offers sliding scale with evidence of financial need.

• Clinical Navigation & Medical Support – I serve as your professional partner during medical journeys, helping you understand complex diagnoses, preparing you for consultations, and attending appointments by your side to ensure your questions are answered and your voice is heard.
• Elder Care & Transition Management – I provide peace of mind for families by coordinating “aging in place” solutions, managing safe transitions between care settings (like hospital to home), and offering compassionate guidance through hospice and end-of-life care.
• Insurance, Billing & Financial Advocacy – I help reduce the financial burden of illness by auditing medical bills for errors, managing complex insurance claims and appeals, and helping you select the insurance plans that best fit your specific health needs.
• Comprehensive Care Coordination – For those managing chronic or complex conditions, I streamline your care by centralizing communication between specialists, managing appointment schedules, and providing the objective information you need for shared decision-making.
