As an Occupational Therapist, I enjoy helping clients be as independent and safe as possible through the aging process. After 20 years in this field, 15 in the Portland, OR market in home health- I chose to focus on helping clients through care management and advocacy services using a client centered approach. Removing insurance coverage boundaries allows me to focus on client's needs through a holistic approach and stay involved in a client's care as long as needed.
