As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting adult children of aging parents who face the complexities of caregiving while balancing their own lives as employees, partners, and friends. I understand the emotional and practical challenges that arise as our parents age and may require increased support. My practice also extends to older adults navigating loss, grief, and significant life transitions. I provide a holistic approach that emphasizes active listening and addressing individual concerns, equipping clients with practical tools to enhance their well-being during these challenging times.
In our initial sessions, you can expect to explore your reasons for seeking therapy, define what success looks like for you, and identify your personal goals. Together, we’ll work towards actionable strategies to help you manage stress and uncertainty effectively.
I am deeply passionate about helping those who are overwhelmed by the complexities of caregiving and life changes. I believe in maintaining dignity and ensuring choice during these pivotal moments, and I am committed to guiding you through this often confusing landscape. If you're feeling stressed or uncertain, I’m here to help you make sense of it all!
