I'm a retired U. S. Coast Guard officer with 30+ years of service and have spent the last 5 years working in mental health, crisis intervention, and vocational rehabilitation. I bring a calm, compassionate presence and am trained in trauma-informed support. My caregiving experience includes supporting a close family member through long-term illness, which deepened my understanding of the physical and emotional demands caregiving brings. I'm dependable, respectful, and focused on preserving dignity and safety at all times. I offer companionship, support with routines, errands, and daily living, and bring a steady, veteran-informed approach to caregiving. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and valued.
