Great to meet you!

I am a certified Geriatric Care Manager and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide mental health therapy along with care management which includes attending medical appointments, referrals and resources, communicating with families and providers, and being the point of contact and liaison between all parties. I have a holistic approach as I focus on the person as a whole to incorporate not just your diagnoses, but your environment as well.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with individuals, caregivers, and families, especially of those with aging issues and often times memory loss and cognitive impairment (such as Alzheimer's). While I primarily work with Seniors and aging adults, and adults with disabilities, I do also accept other populations. I love using my experience in mental health alongside care management for my clients as this can really help to close the gaps that we often face when trouble shooting problems.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe that God did not create us to live alone, and there is more joy in walking through these times with someone beside us. Life can feel overwhelming with new changes and diagnoses. My goal is for you to feel educated, empowered and walk away with new skills, to feel hope at the end of each meeting while we tackle the problems you are facing, together.
