About Us

I am a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), Certified Placement Referral Specialist (CPRS), Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). I work closely with seniors and their families to ensure they find the best possible living and care solutions—while feeling informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.

Over the years, I have helped hundreds of families navigate the senior living landscape, providing clear answers, trusted guidance, and practical solutions so they can make educated decisions and create thoughtful, well-planned next steps.

I understand firsthand how stressful and overwhelming the search for care can be. Families are often faced with an abundance of options, complex financial considerations, specific care needs, and extensive paperwork—all while trying to make decisions during an emotional or urgent time.

That reality became deeply personal for me when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. I was suddenly confronted with difficult questions I wasn’t prepared to answer: When should she move out of her home? What level of care does she truly need? Should I choose a large assisted living community or a smaller residential care home? I remember wishing there was someone knowledgeable and trustworthy who could help guide me through those decisions.

After more than 15 years in the long-term care, life insurance, and estate planning industries, I chose to become a Senior Care Authority Advisor—combining my professional expertise with the hard-earned lessons I gained while helping my mother through her Alzheimer’s journey. My goal is to help families avoid common pitfalls, reduce stress, and move forward with clarity and confidence, without repeating the mistakes my own family faced.

In addition to operating Senior Care Authority, I founded the National Placement and Referral Alliance (NPRA) of Sacramento in 2018 and served as its first President. I continue to serve on the Board of Directors today. As the trade association for the senior placement industry in the Sacramento region, NPRA represents over 50 members and is dedicated to advancing education, establishing best practices and a strong code of ethics, advocating for family choice, and protecting seniors from predatory practices.
