FEELING LOST CARING FOR AGING PARENTS?
It’s Tough—But You’re Not Alone
You’re handling work, family, and the care of an aging loved one. It’s exhausting. You’re scared of making the wrong decision, worried for their safety, and grieving the changes in your relationship.
I’ve been there. And I’m here to help.
I’VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE
Why I Do What I Do
My passion for working with older adults stems from watching my parents struggle through the mess of services, facilities and caregivers. They faced tough conversations with their parents as they navigated Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and the slow decline of my endearing, hilarious, stubborn, and strong-willed grandparents.
There were many unexpected challenges—like Grandma Janey calling the fire department every few days to help Grandpa David after he fell. My parents realized he needed more support, but they didn’t know where to start.
This journey can be hard. There are endless decisions. You try to balance safety and independence and manage difficult health diagnoses. It can feel like an impossible maze to navigate.
Time may change their needs, but their essence—the laughter, the stubbornness, the love—remains what we hold on to.

THE HEART OF MY WORK
Where My Purpose Meets Your Needs
When I first learned about social workers specializing in elder care, it felt like a lifeline. Families like mine—overwhelmed and unsure—could finally get the support they needed. The idea that I could provide that relief was inspiring.
But it wasn’t until my graduate school internship, that I knew this was my calling. One day, I met Helen, a fiercely independent woman struggling with the loss of her home, belongings, and memory. As we talked about her decision to give away her beloved dog, I felt her pain and knew I could help.
I walked away from that meeting and told my supervisor, “This is my home. This is the population that I want to spend my social work career working with. It feels like home in my heart.”
