I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Being a geriatric social worker does not only mean I work with elders. I’m family systems based. Are you part of the “sandwich generation” (caring for elders as well as children)? Are you existentially struggling with some kind of loss? What are the tools you already have to bring you JOY? How can we help you negotiate bringing your best self forward?
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We’ll introduce ourselves, go over confidentiality, and then dive into what goals you have indicated.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I listen deeply and with my heart. I enjoy seeing clients realize their importance and self worth in this world.

Grief Therapy
Having worked in hospice for 15+ years, I am sensitive to the many griefs that people carry— whether it’s disenfranchised grief, anticipatory grief, grief due to a loss, or times of transition.
Strength-Based
I believe you have a little kernel of truth that is whispering to you the tools and skills you have to deal with current circumstances. Sometimes, it just takes a little bit of time to unpack where those skills are residing!
Narrative
As humans, we are story tellers— it gives us a past, makes meaning for the present, and gives us hope for the future— whether you are dreaming or reframing or solidifying a sense of purpose hood. What gives your life meaning?
