I am licensed in Virginia with 40 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients in coping with grief, coping with loss, depression, & coping with life changes. I have a strong interest in working with those who are entering into the retirement years of life and making the transition to becoming an older adult. I enjoy working with caregivers of those who may have degenerative illness, though my work is not limited to this population. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I believe that the most important relationship you have is the relationship with oneself, and I focus on the positive ways that help you identify your strengths. I will help you find the strengths and positive traits that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Additional areas of focus: Aging and geriatric issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Midlife crisis, Self-love
