About Us:
There often comes a time when aging parents or spouses develop physical or cognitive limitations that make it challenging to perform tasks safely and independently at home.
These changes can affect their ability to live safely without family assistance, often leading to falls and injuries.
As mobile in-home therapist, I have witnessed this repeatedly, entering hundreds of homes and seeing the struggles seniors face. I've seen the added stress on their spouses and adult children, who find it very challenging and overwhelming to know how to care for them and how to balance caregiving with their own lives.
My goal is to provide the support and guidance needed to equip them to support their loved ones efficiently while recognizing their limitations and ensuring their own well-being as well.

Adding to my professional experience as an Occupational Therapist is the wealth of knowledge and learning gained from direct hands-on experience as primary caregiver to my mother who had several strokes, to an “aunt” who had Alzheimer’s and to a daughter born with a congenital birth defect.
I was also the owner and operator of a 6 bed personal care home for the elderly.
Let’s start the journey together.
My experience has equipped me with the skills needed to offer insight and practical knowledge to help our aging community and caregivers properly and strategically address the concerns that come with aging. Allow me to use my professional experience as an Occupational Therapist and my first-hand experience as a caregiver to champion you towards success as you find your foothold as you terrain the aging and caregiving journey.
