Caregiving and Dementia Care Expert

A session with me is like…
Speaking with your aunt who will listen with an open heart but guide you with solid advice. I will give you the tools you need to move forward, while supporting you where you’re at.

One life experience that helps me relate to my clients is…
Caring for my grandma who had Alzheimer's Disease and quickly forgot who I was. Initially, I was heartbroken, but I learned to reintroduce myself and gain her trust over and over again at every visit. We were able to treasure our time together. I know what that heartbreak feels like. I know the stress and exhaustion that you can feel.

Three things I want clients to feel post-session are…
Supported, encouraged, empowered.

Past experience that qualifies me for this role is…
Bachelor of Science in Gerontology
Certified Case Manager
Dementia Care Advisor

My relevant credentials are…
– Bachelor of Science in Gerontology
– Certified Case Manager, Commission for Case Manager Certification

I am a Certified Case Manager with more than 18 years of experience in the aging field. I have served my local community as a Case Manager, assisting clients in navigating Medicare, Medicaid, and local services. I have also been a leader in training and supporting caregivers through local support groups, conferences, and telephonic conversations.

I am passionate about the aging population and how best to support those who are caring for them. I am an empathetic listener who will give you the tools to move forward in your respective role.
