Meet Our Team Members

Patty

I joined Vital Decisions in April 2019. I have seen first-hand how important it is to clarify and communicate our healthcare wishes before a crisis happens. When these choices are discussed ahead of time, it is truly a gift to their loved ones who can then honor their wishes, rather than always wondering if they did the right thing. I feel honored to support my clients through this important and intimate decision-making process. My goal is to help you feel understood, confident and secure and to make our conversations enjoyable and positive! Because of my professional background as medical and hospice social worker, as well as from personal experience, I am very passionate about advance healthcare planning. In addition to my Bachelors in Psychology from Penn State and my Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State, I have run a number of businesses over the years, including a kids’ resale store, marketing consulting, a photography business and a life coaching practice.
