Since graduation from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2007 i have worked exclusively with the geriatric population, dedicated to the concerns of Seniors as well as end of life. I am licensed in Missouri and looking to expand in the near future. For the past four years I have been the Executive Director of Serenity HospiceCare in Park Hills, Missouri. My current role as therapist on Totallife.com enables me to continue focusing on my passion to support older adults and that’s important to me.
About I am a Clinical Social Worker with 16 years experience focusing on the concerns of the geriatric population. My experience also includes working with other demographics including men, women and children. In my sessions, I focus on using evidence-based techniques such as CBT in order to help clients improve their coping skills. I often work with clients to address loneliness, care-giver stress, grief and loss, chronic illness, end of life concerns and many other issues that Seniors face. My counseling style is strengths based due to the vast knowledge and experience people already have. Many of my clients have said that I am a great listener. I take time to really get to know my clients and it is an honor to work with this population. In my spare time, I am usually outdoors kayaking, hiking or biking. My favorite quote is by Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
