For 15 years, I worked in Senior Living, most recently as The Director of Family Services for The Kensington Assisted Living in White Plains, New York from 2011-2023. The experiences I went through working with several hundred  families and family units can’t be taught in a classroom, and definitely seasoned me for the next chapter.

Now, I support families and individuals in all kinds of situations- not just Assisted Living- through coaching. Adult children worried about parents. Spouses who are caregiving at home. Spouses live separately from their partners. Concerned (and maybe disagreeing) siblings. Nieces and nephews finding their place. Lifelong friends with an aging loved one. I love listening to the stories and learning about everyone involved. I love coaching someone and seeing what happens when they feel supported and empowered. I love exploring options and planning next steps with my clients.

Aging impacts the circle of people around a senior, not just the senior. The ripples go outward. I am here for those people in the ripples. I am here to support the supporters.

Coaching. It’s exactly what I’m supposed to do.
