Nurturing and caregiving have always been a huge part of my journey in life. I know first hand how overwhelming and challenging it can be.
I meet my clients where they are in their journey and help them navigate challenges to find solutions and resources specific to their needs and journey.
My Experience
- Over 40 years experience as a family caregiver
- Over 40 years experience caring for a physically and developmentally disabled sibling
- Over 15 years experience living with a disabled Veteran spouse with limb loss, PTSD and post-concussive syndrome
- Over 20 years experience working in the limb-loss and limb-difference community
What you can expect when working with me
- Mentoring and coaching that involves acceptance and no judgement - I don’t have all the answers, nor do I claim to. I believe answers to your questions and struggles lie within you. Together we can find those answers and solutions.
- Focused Listening and Engaged Conversation - Our time together is about YOU and how I can best serve YOU to address your caregiving concerns during our time.
- Encouragement - You aren’t a name on a list. I have a genuine curiosity and desire to get to know you and learn more about your caregiving journey. Be prepared for humor and laughter because it’s one of my natural personality traits. Laughter can be a release valve that helps us see things more clearly.
- Resource Navigation - I’ll work with you to find resources and solutions that will help you address your caregiving challenges. I offer a supportive and caring partnership that will equip you for working through challenging times.
- Warmth and humor - I love working one on one with caregivers. It's my preference because no two stories or journeys are the same. I want you to have all my attention so we can dig into your challenges together. I am a hopeful person by nature and I want you to feel calmer, more hopeful and lighter in spirit after our time together. I also love to hear my clients laugh because it's a sign of release.
What You Should Not Expect When Working with Me
- Counseling — I am not a professional counselor. My goal is to support and guide you through coaching, mentorship, encouragement, conversation and resource navigation.
