Geriatric Care Consultant

Therapeutic Counseling

As a therapeutic counselor, I incorporate a strength-based, solution focused approach, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness, which are effective in helping individuals gain insight and develop healthy coping skills to reduce symptoms. Therapy is a journey to develop a deeper understanding of oneself. I can assist you in finding acceptance and solutions to the issues and stressors that cause you pain and suffering.

Geriatric Care Consultant

As a Geriatric Care Consultant, I will provide guidance and consultation for you and your family when a loved one faces a chronic or significant health situation. With my years of experience, I understand that each family situation is unique, requiring a specific, tailored plan to achieve optimal care for the individual. Families commonly feel overwhelmed, confused, and isolated when determining how best to meet the individual’s needs. As a Geriatric Care Consultant, I can help you and your family in addressing the individual’s specialized care needs and help you navigate through the myriad of information. Along with my current work in the community, I have guided many close friends who have faced difficult and challenging medical situations with a family member.
