​​A little about me.

​

I hold a Master of Arts in Gerontology from San Francisco State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of San Francisco. For more than 20 years, I have worked with older adults and their families, including 15 years as a professional Geriatric Care Manager in the San Francisco Bay Area and continued practice in Southern Oregon since 2018.

 

My professional experience is complemented by service as a hospice volunteer with Zen Hospice Project and as a chaplain volunteer at Marin General Hospital.

 

I entered the field of gerontology out of a deep commitment to helping people navigate the realities of aging with dignity, knowledge, and support. Throughout my career, I have worked alongside older adults and their families during times of illness, functional decline, caregiving challenges, and major life transitions.

 

Today, I maintain a limited consulting practice, assisting older adults and adult children who are facing complex healthcare decisions, hospitalizations, rehabilitation needs, long-term care planning, housing transitions, and advocacy concerns. My goal is to help individuals and families understand their options, make informed decisions, and ensure that the older adult’s values, preferences, and quality of life remain at the center of care

​

My role is simple:

to help you see clearly, plan wisely, and move forward with confidence.
