A calm, steady presence for people navigating life's hardest transitions — offering compassionate peer support and genuine advocacy, available remotely by phone and video.
I'm a Certified Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist through the State of California, with a lifetime of helping people through stressful, high-stakes moments. I believe deeply in meeting people where they are — with patience, honesty, and zero judgment — and walking alongside them until they find their footing.
Before peer support, I spent decades as a California real estate broker, guiding families through some of the biggest decisions of their lives. The heart of that work was never really the property — it was listening, building trust, and helping people stay steady when everything felt overwhelming. That's the same gift I bring to peer support today.
Certified, recovery-oriented support grounded in real lived experience and genuine empathy.
I create a safe, judgment-free space where people feel truly heard and understood.
Decades of guiding people calmly through crisis, transition, loss, and big decisions.
Comfortable and effective over Zoom, phone, and email, with strong follow-through.
Supporting individuals through addiction, recovery, and life transitions with empathy, encouragement, and respect for each person's own path.
Advised clients through emotional, high-stakes transitions — divorce, loss, downsizing, relocation — with discretion, clarity, and care.
Meals on Wheels volunteer (1999–2015) and a devoted family caregiver — experienced in navigating healthcare and supporting loved ones through serious illness.
I'm currently open to remote peer support and advisory roles. I'd love to hear from you.
