I have openings for therapy if you have been considering it, please call me. If driving to my location is the barrier, call me and we can work through a few options.

This is great news for our community. Having the option for a short term rehab stay without a hospitalization gives people more opportunity to gain strength and return home.

I am excited to announce a new service of Social Work Consulting Services that I am now offering. This is separate from my psychotherapy services and is fee-for-service consulting.

Navigating care options or just every day life problems for an aging loved one or for yourself can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone.

My Social Work Consulting Services are here to guide older adults, or caregivers through every step of care planning, long-term care decisions, every day life problems, and helping to find the right resources to thrive.

✨ What This May Include:
✔️ Personalized care management
✔️ Long-term care planning and guidance, including assessment of level of care and safety
✔️ Resource navigation for medical, community, and home-based supports
✔️ Family Mediation
✔️ Helping understand Medicare, Medicaid, Supplements, Advantage Plans, Long Term Care Policies, and More
✔️ Support for caregivers facing stress, burnout, or complex decisions
✔️Structured problem solving with an objective view
✔️Presentations on mental health or age related topics for staff or organizations
✔️Not limited to these above and can be tailored to what your need might be

Whether you're planning ahead or managing a sudden change, I can help you make informed choices with confidence and peace of mind.

I was asked to speak to the social work class at WIU today about my career path working with older adults. I'm excited and honored to be asked to come back to the university that I graduated from. I hope to inspire other social workers to work with this population and to work hard towards a dream.

Therapy For Positive Aging is teaching a class today at Spoon River Collge on Tools For Positive Aging! I look forward to helping people learn coping skills that can help them in the aging process.

Telehealth for your therapy needs is an option. There has been a lot of confusion lately due to regulatory changes. It requires our first session to be in-person and then we have to meet one time annually in-person after. I can do video through my patient portal or by phone call. We can also do a hybrid so you come in person when it works for you and we do telehealth when it doesn't. Call me for an appointment!
