Advocacy & Everyday Support
I'm Here for Whatever You Need to Feel Empowered
People need real help—and sometimes people just need to be heard. Whether it's a court date, a career shift, a grocery trip, or a quiet walk on the beach, I'll walk beside you. The sky is the limit, and you don't have to navigate your wild rapids alone.

Every person and every situation is different. Below are common areas I support—but if what you need isn't listed, ask. Chances are, I can help.
Someone to Listen
Sometimes you just need to be heard—no judgment, no fixing, no rush. I offer a calm, compassionate presence for whatever you're carrying.
Job & Career Exploration
Feeling stuck or unsure what's next? I'll help you explore career paths, update resumes, prep for interviews, and take practical next steps with clarity.

Common Questions About Advocacy & Care
Where do you provide in-person advocacy and care?
I'm based in Astoria, Oregon and serve the local area. For locations more than 50 miles from the Wild Rapids Wellness office, mileage is added to cover travel. Reach out and we can discuss distance, timing, and what works best for you.
What happens during an advocacy or care session?
Each session is tailored to you. It may include emotional support, practical help like errands or appointments, court accompaniment, resource navigation, grocery shopping, nature outings, or simply a calm presence while you process. We decide together what you need that day.
How should I prepare for our time together?
You don't need to prepare anything formal. If helpful, jot down a few goals or concerns you'd like support with. Bring any relevant paperwork for appointments, court dates, or resource applications. Most importantly, come as you are—there's no right or wrong way to show up.
Is what I share kept confidential?
Yes. Your privacy matters. What you share stays between us, with the standard exceptions required by law if there's risk of harm to yourself or others.
Can I combine advocacy with wellness coaching?
Absolutely. Many people blend advocacy support with wellness coaching, nutrition education, or supplement guidance. We can build a plan that fits your life and goals.
Do I need a formal diagnosis or referral to work with you?
No. You don't need a diagnosis, referral, or specific label. If you need support, advocacy, or someone in your corner, you're welcome here.
