My clinical social work experiences fall in to these area: mindfulness psychotherapy – individuals and family, group work with children, special needs education and advocacy, elderly homecare, birth coaching, yoga & mindfulness, wellness education, writing and arts. I see myself as a ‘change agent’ working cooperatively with people to help them identify their life challenges, establish goals, accept life on life’s terms, and achieve a healthier quality of life. My strong skills include: compassion and communications, organization, building trust and flexibility. I have facilitated many therapeutic support groups, w children and adults to explore new ways to manage life’s challenges. Woman’s Wellness through therapy, yoga, education and mindfulness. Group work with special needs and chronic illness population. Hospital Social Work, individual counsel, family counsel, end of life counsel.
