About Me
Experience and training
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with elders, caregivers, and people with dementia in one-on-one and group settings. I have taught numerous classes for family and professional caregivers on dementia care. I hold a Masters of Social Work from the University of California at Berkeley with a concentration in Gerontology.
Been there, done that
My personal experience as a family caregiver-- for my grandmother who suffered from Alzheimer's, then for my sweetie who had Lewy Body Dementia, and currently for my mother-- inspires and informs my work with clients. I understand firsthand the importance of building a circle of support and seeking guidance as you juggle the seemingly endless responsibilities and rollercoaster of emotions that caregivers encounter.
All are welcome
I welcome individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+ and those in diverse relationship structures, including polyamory and consensual power exchange.
As an Asian American woman raised by immigrant parents, I am familiar with the impact of prejudice and discrimination, as well as the nuances of identity, belonging, and the struggles around meeting
family and cultural expectations.
