I have been a Registered Nurse for over 51 years and a Licensed Professional Counselor for 25 years. I have worked in every nursing environment over the years and have served literally thousands of patients both as a nurse and as a mental health therapist. For the last 25 years, I have worked in home healthcare, hospice and private home care in Atlanta. Here I have witnessed firsthand the overarching desire of families to stay home to heal in an environment that is comfortable, remain independent, and be surrounded by those they love and that love them. I love the opportunity to meet families and help devise a strategy that will facilitate their healing at home.

 

Over the years, I have had a great deal of experience in Alzheimer’s Disease and have come to understand and council through this disease routinely. We even offer a program through Second Wind Dreams called the Virtual Dementia Tour which allows a family to physically and mentally experience dementia even for a few short minutes. I also spent 13 years in hospice serving families at end of life. I have a passion for helping families through these difficult times.

 

In addition to nursing, I love running, weight training, gardening, and mostly spending time with my dear husband.
