What a privilege it was to be involved with Conway’s family night! We called BINGO, met families, and made a difference for Alzheimer’s awareness.

Sign me up!

What an HONOR to talk with Gordon Brewer on Practice of Therapy Podcast and the Psych Craft Network on YouTube. He helps private practice owners navigate all things business and clinical work. My favorite part of podcasting is what happens behind the scenes, the private conversation when we get to be human and share with one another the joys and woes of life... I love it.

In this episode, we talked through how to help your own family through aging family issues while managing private practice. One of my great loves is business. So, when I had the opportunity to bring all of my worlds together I jumped on it!

If you wouldn't mind; I'd love for you to watch/listen!

In 2024, after decades of lobbying, Professional Counselors were finally approved to bill Medicare insurance. I’m thrilled to announce that I am fully credentialed and currently accepting Medicare-insured clients.

I’m hopeful to be able to treat clients and their families in my office, as well as assisted and independent living facilities.

If you know someone or a company that would benefit from counseling services through Medicare I’d love to help.

Feel free to reach out with questions!

Thank you Stonebridge Conway for hosting a health fair for residents and family. I was so honored to be there to share my services, meet others in the gerontology community, and get to know some of the residents.

I love my job!

🌿 Is Counseling a Good Fit? 🌿

Research shows that the strongest predictor of positive change in counseling isn’t a technique or theory—it’s the therapeutic relationship.

Feeling safe, seen, and understood by your counselor matters deeply. If you’ve tried counseling before and it didn’t feel like a good fit, that doesn’t mean it can’t work—it just means the match wasn’t right.

A good fit in counseling often feels like:
✔️ Feeling emotionally safe and respected with a consistent therapeutic presence
✔️ Being truly listened to and the person seeking to understand
✔️ Curiosity and concern of cultural and spiritual values, background, and worldview
✔️ Feeling supported, not judged when it's uncomfortable
✔️ A sense of trust and steady connection or attunement
✔️ Hope that growth is possible—even when it’s hard

If you're seeking support and wondering whether counseling is right for you, consider starting with someone who prioritizes connection, safety, and soul-deep care.

Let’s settle this once and for all...

If your therapist doesn’t keep a box of GOOD tissues nearby, are you even really in therapy? 😅

I'm thinking tissue brands are seriously missing out on some prime marketing opportunities in therapy offices. Imagine the slogans:

🤧 Tough enough for your trauma, gentle enough for your healing.

Okay, now your turn👇
What would your funny or heartfelt therapy tissue slogan be?

The caregiver, the adult child, the decision-maker... I'm talking to you. I see you. You've been pulled in a million directions just trying to hold it all together. But how do you know when it's time to reach out for help? When is counseling right for you?

❓ Do you feel like you're always holding everything together — and barely holding on yourself?

❓ Is your body starting to show the toll of all the stress and constant caregiving?

❓ Are you carrying guilt or resentment, even though you’re trying your best?

❓ Have your relationships started to suffer while you focus on caring for someone else?

❓ Do you ever catch yourself wondering if things will ever feel okay again?

❓ Is it getting harder to keep your cool or find patience like you used to?

❓ Do you feel like you've lost pieces of yourself in the middle of all this?

❓ Are you turning to things—like food, screens, alcohol, or shutting down—that aren’t really helping in the long run?

It can be hard to answer those questions with transparency. So, if you answered yes to one or more of those question just message me and we can get you on the path to CLARITY, RELIEF, AND RENEWAL.

Once I meet a new client for their initial session I learn all about how they got to where they are and what we want to focus on in therapy. This question usually comes at the end of the session when we schedule our next time together.

My simple answer is "My own family." Witnessing my great-grandmother's death, witnessing relational shifts after that, helping my parents with my grandparent's dementia journeys, and now navigating my parents' aging issues has positioned me in a unique way to speak directly to the heart of Aging Family issues. I can relate on a level client's have a hard time articulating. Each client's nuances of their aging family are unique, but the feelings are quite universal when you've been there.

I wanted to provide the much needed support to the families who find themselves feeling overwhelmed, isolated, limited, grieving, and stuck. Feeling like time is short, and yet the time seems stands still. I've been there and I'm here for you.

You’re doing your best, but the stress of caregiving is eating you alive. You’re stuck in a cycle of stress and guilt trying to care for your aging parents. I know you and I see you. I've worked with so many of you. Oh and I'm also involved in my own Aging Family, so my perspective is not just clinical, but personal. I have a passion for helping adult children like you manage your parents' needs and your own life—without the constant guilt or fear you’re failing. I've witnessed clients' shoulders relax, relationships heal, resentment relieve, confidence in decision-making improve, and hope in the future restored.

And I can't wait to see that in your life.

So you’ve found yourself there. Sacrificing more than expected or anticipated. You’re overwhelmed and burned out. Or maybe you can see it coming - anticipating it really. It doesn’t have to be that way.

I help adult children make tough decisions about their parents’ care, so they can stop drowning in stress and finally take control.
