Additional Information: Historically, my practice was home based, with all sessions in the homes of clients. I now offer a hybrid practice, utilizing both home visits and telehealth. I work with adults, primarily older adults, addressing issues related to chronic pain, chronic illness, physical disability, grief including anticipatory grief, caregiver stress, and end of life issues.
