You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

"Helping people navigate challenges and connect with the right resources has always been at the heart of what I do.

Who I Am

Rooted in Community

The Santa Ynez Valley has been my home since 1981, and over the years, I have developed strong connections within the community and a deep understanding of local resources.

My professional background includes decades of customer service experience, managing the front office of a medical practice, and overseeing operations at a mental wellness facility. Combined with my certification as a mediator, these experiences have given me a unique ability to listen, understand individual needs, and help connect people with the services, resources, and support systems that can make a meaningful difference in their lives.

"Helping people feel seen, heard, and understood."

My Approach

Compassionate & Relationship Focused

In-Home Support

I work directly with clients in the comfort of their own homes, allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of their daily environment, routines, and unique needs. Being present in a client's home often provides valuable insight that helps create more personalized and effective support.

Meaningful Connection

I believe a meaningful human connection is essential. People want to feel seen, heard, and understood. Face-to-face interaction creates an opportunity to build trust, foster open communication, and develop solutions that truly reflect each person's circumstances and goals.

Family Involvement

When appropriate, involving trusted family members or loved ones can be an important part of the process. With your permission, I can provide email updates or maintain a shared document that outlines our goals, progress, and action plans. Access is always determined by you and shared only with those you choose.

Consultation & Fees

Transparent & Flexible Pricing

$30

Initial consultation · one hour

Because every client and situation is different, I do not offer fixed pricing. Instead, we discuss your needs and agree on a fee structure in advance. Services may be provided on an hourly basis or through a prepaid retainer for a set number of hours, depending on the scope and level of support required.

Support Tailored to You.
