Owner, Senior Advisor, Educator & Speaker
As a Senior Advisor and Placement Specialist, I help people transition to senior living communities when the time arrives, so families aren’t tackling the process alone. There’s a lot to know and a lot to do. You will receive hands-on, boots-on-the-ground guidance through all the decisions you’ll need to make.
I bring a robust library of experience and perspective to this conversation as I have worked inside senior living communities as an Admissions Director in two states. I've walked with my mom on the senior living journey. I also bring 13 years' experience as a senior’s real estate specialist to the conversation. I am licensed and accountable to the Oregon Department of Human Services. I have a degree in social work and career history in social and healthcare services. I encourage you to join the conversation just so you know what may lie ahead for you or someone you know. You can also call me to get some questions answered.
Whether I’m leading a workshop, touring a community, or offering one-on-one guidance, my mission is simple: to ensure you are heard, honored, and confidently supported—before, during, and after the move.

In Memory of Mom and The Power of Family
Thank you to everyone who contributed love
in the form of time, patience, planning, phone calls, plane trips, money, doing chores,
and sharing your home.
Along the way, our big family learned much about this season of life
and about ourselves under stress.
We were challenged by her changes
and by making difficult decisions.
Each family member’s contribution made a difference
in how Mom’s story played out.
My last memory with her is a joyful one—
a springtime drive in Oklahoma,
windows rolled down,
radio playing,
and enjoying some ice cream.
It is because of Mom’s transition,
and the journey we walked as a family,
that I’m choosing to walk with you and your family
as you navigate this part of your story.
