Living with illness and decline is hard. And caring for someone with a chronic condition is no less difficult. Are you in one of these situations and struggling to keep perspective? Feeling overwhelmed with the permanent nature of your situation? Looking at an uncertain future? Being proactive in managing your emotional health is as important as finding the expert to treat you or your loved one’s medical condition. And maximizing coping skills that have been helpful in the past is key to “living well” with chronic illness. My practice specializes in addressing the emotional and care management needs of individuals and families affected by illness and decline. I have over 20 years’ experience working with the “aging family” as well as other adults affected by chronic illness, and also emphasize the importance of caregiver health. My services include counseling for patients and/or family caregivers, family education and problem-solving, and anticipatory planning to develop plans and connect to resources. Home visits are available within certain areas. Together we will face the realities of your situation and explore how to live with hope and resilience. I look forward to your call.
