Hi, I'm Amy, a licensed clinical Social Worker and Dementia Certified Practitioner with over 30 years of professional work experience. I am committed to working with individuals who are coping with life struggles such as loss, grief, obtaining balance in their life, divorce, bereavement, dementia and anxiety. I am practical, warm, direct, empathetic, easy to connect to and passionate about helping each of my clients find solutions to live their best authentic life. For as long as I can remember, I was the "go to person" for advice and can not imagine doing anything else then helping my clients become empowered and make healthy changes in their day to day lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will share a little about myself and get to know your reasons for therapy, your short and long term goals and what bought you to therapy. I feel it's very important that the client feels it is a good fit, is comfortable and feels heard.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My clients have shared that they immediately felt heard and validated in a way that allowed them to share and be vulnerable. My experience working with hospice patients and nursing home residents has enabled me to be an advocate while remaining calm and empathetic during very difficult times in people's lives. My niche is working with seniors, children of aging parents, Dementia patients and their families and anyone who has lost a loved one and those recently divorced. I lead monthly bereavement support groups, caregiver support groups and a Parkinson's support group.
