I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in older adults and their families. I am currently in private practice, providing counseling and care coordination to individuals and families. I practice from a person-centered approach, with dignity and respect for the individual and their choices. I provide support, guidance, and advocacy to my clients and their families, often times during crisis and confusion. With 10 years experience in long-term care, I am uniquely suited to serve this population with the specialized knowledge that is needed to guide my clients. I am first and foremost a listener; by being attune with what my clients are after, I am able to serve them with compassion, warmth, and kindness.

Supporting you to heal and transform your life.
