My Services
Consultation for Older Adults, Caregivers/Family members
I help older adults and the people who love and care for them.
Maybe you just need a few questions answered
I can help.
Family journeys are filled with shifting relationships and there are ongoing transitions in the life of every family. One of those transitions occurs when we must begin to seek information on how to provide care for a family member. There are specific successful strategies and resources to help family members and caregivers meet the needs of an older adult.
not sure what your older adult is experiencing?
Consultation can help.
Consultation affords you the opportunity to ask me specific questions about your circumstances. We connect for 1 session to get an understanding of your unique needs. We may or may not meet again depending on the consultation questions and the process generally takes 1-4 meetings.
Psychotherapy involves short-term therapeutic support around deeper issues and concerns. Therapy lasts anywhere from 4-12 sessions.
Self-care involves caregivers acknowledging and attending to their own physical, psychological, and social needs. Once a caregiver’s role is stable and their older adult’s needs are being successfully met, their relationship can flourish and they both can experience a closeness and sense of depth that make family relationships so very worthwhile.
