I love working with clients across the lifespan. I see children as young as elementary school and work with clients/families up into the time of death. I have provided many of these services in-person in a hospital or home care setting working 9 years in hospice and in oncology programs. Supporting folks during their grief, whether due to changes in the life cycle, chronic illness, and terminality is my specialty. I also personally am a guardian and caregiver for my parent who lives with Bipolar Disorder and advanced Alzheimer's Disease, so I bring several years of personal advocacy and practice experience based on this role.

One of the staples of life is change. Change can be viewed as a positive or in a not-so-positive manner. Change affects us not only in relation to events but in how we perceive each other. For over 32 years, I have walked alongside individuals and families through change. Change pulls at the core of who we are and often in this tug-of-war, we find ourselves frustrated, lost, feeling helpless and with major questions. Let's journey through these questions together.

Just when you think you've got a handle on things, life gets turned upside down. Whether you're a young professional just starting out on your own, a couple looking to reignite your relationship, or a parent worried for your child's well-being, the stressors of life can pile up to a mountain. Anxiety, depression and that general "blah" feeling can become a daily struggle that leads to burnout and exhaustion. It's overwhelming! You shouldn't have to feel like you're constantly climbing a mountain.
