Therapist Overview
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with older adults and their families. As people age, a variety of issues may arise such as loss of independence, loss of loved ones, changes in family dynamics and possibly the onset of medical and/or mental health illness. Showing understanding and validating feelings through this life stage is the basis of my work. Through identifying fears related to change and loss, I strive to help clients move toward finding greater fulfillment in their lives. I have 20 years of experience in home care and can help clients and their families navigate the waters of entitlement programs and supportive services. I am also able to perform duties of Geriatric Care management , working closely with insurance companies under long term care insurance policies. If you are the caregiver of an aging parent and are finding yourself overwhelmed with responsibility, I can assist you in finding ways to reduce your level of stress an
