Having lived in Napa for most of my life and raised my children here, I have a deep connection to the community and a genuine understanding of what makes this area such a special place to call home. That local insight allows me to better serve my clients with both market knowledge and a personal perspective.

Before entering real estate, I spent years as a Director of Rehabilitation in physical therapy, helping individuals and families navigate some of life’s most significant transitions. That experience shaped the way I approach my work today—with patience, empathy, and a deep understanding that every move represents more than just a change in address.

I specialize in supporting seniors and older adults as they downsize or transition into the next chapter of their lives. With a strong focus on safety, accessibility, and preserving independence, I guide my clients through each step with clarity and care. From coordinating timelines to connecting families with trusted resources, I strive to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

I also work closely with families navigating uncertain or complex situations—whether buying, selling, or relocating—bringing a thoughtful, solutions-oriented approach and a keen awareness of mobility and lifestyle needs.

At the heart of my business is a genuine love for people and community. I believe real estate is not just about transactions—it’s about building lasting relationships, offering guidance when it matters most, and helping my clients feel confident and supported every step of the way.
