Search for a Mentor in Northern Nevada

Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s can be scary and isolating. Doctors are not necessarily in tune with just how devastating a diagnosis of Parkinson’s can be to an individual. As a mentor and someone with Parkinson’s, I hope to alleviate some of the fears, uncertainty and anxiety that often accompanies a diagnosed by giving them someone to talk to. I would encourage them to share their experiences and concerns and I could provide them with information on a number of local resources.

I believe I can help newly diagnosed people with the challenges and transitions they’ll need to make, and help them develop new and constructive perspectives.

I always want to help people find the positive side of Parkinson’s – the people they will meet and interact with. Diagnosed with PD in 2017 I’ve learned that fighting PD is most important and not a death sentence.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2012. I have many symptoms long before being diagnosed. I think I can provide information and support to someone who has Parkinson’s disease.
