How to Afford Care
Spend with confidence, plan for the long haul, and tap into resources most people don't know about (or can't access without help).
Critical Decisions
Be ready when things change and decisions can't wait. Finding a home, next steps, and the hard calls nobody wants to make.
Paperwork & Systems
Arrive at care, health, legal, and family meetings confidently. We'll go through the paperwork: POAs, Advance Directives, HIPAA, and more.
Ongoing Care & Dignity
Plan for cognitive decline, evolving care needs, and end-of-life wishes. Preserve dignity and reduce shame.
Safeguarding & Security
Defend against financial abuse and scams. Know who to trust, who to avoid, and what safeguards to put in place.
Family Alignment
Coordinate with an objective expert. Decide who does what, how to care long-distance, and keep the family together.
Hi. I'm Avery.
I got 'The Call' in 2019, when I was told my father was lying in a hospital bed unconscious. That's when life signed me up for a crash course in caregiving.
I felt overwhelmed by doctors, paperwork, and phone calls that led nowhere. Everyone told me they had "answers," but no one had solutions.
The hospital wanted to discharge my dad before we were ready, when we didn't even know what was wrong. And when I asked for help, the social worker shrugged off my fears, and the discharge planner simply didn't show up.
I had to learn things that I never expected: How to get a POA signed in a hospital room, file disability claims, and fight with banks over estate forms. Then there was finding a nursing home (and finding the money to pay for it).
Then I did it again. Years of at-home, hands-on dementia care for my mother-in-law: medications, mobility, and mood swings. Through hospice, and beyond.
And again. Untangling another loved one's finances after a health crisis. There were late payments, IRS notices, fractured credit, and a mortgage at risk. I built a system from chaos and stabilized my family.
Caring for my family was expensive, in time, money, and life. But I knew it was the right thing to do.
I soon learned, however, that the cost was higher than I'd expected.
As demands increased, I increasingly felt like something was wrong. I first thought it was just the normal stuff—anxiety, depression, fatigue.
That's when I ended up in a wheelchair.

How do sessions work?
It's important that we start with a free intro phone call to see if we're a good fit to work together. If we both decide to move forward, we'll meet by Zoom (unless you prefer phone). I'll send you any notes and important information after each session so that you can easily reference what we talked about. If you have questions between sessions, or if you need to get in touch for an urgent matter, I do my best to respond to emails by the next day. I might send you a short form (5-10 minutes) to complete before our first paid session. This would be foundational information so that we can get the most out of that initial session, and maximize time for Q&A. I may also ask you to send me any important documents that we identified together.
