Autumn Transitions focuses on the needs of older adults and their families as they navigate through a complex maze of medical, psychological, legal and home care services and support for issues related to aging.  I personally faced many challenges as a care manager and caregiver for over a decade for my parents and each of my husband’s parents.  The legacy left to me by my family has resulted in a passionate desire to help others benefit from my experience, compassion and professional acumen.

In addition to my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology, I am a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®. I adhere to the CSA Code of Professional Responsibility which provides ethical principles and rules for all persons who are certified to use the CSA designation. It is based on the standards of competence, honesty, trustworthiness, fairness, and professionalism. I’ve chosen not to sell products, but to use the academic knowledge gained during the certification process to augment my practical care management experience.

I’ve spent over 15 years in Silicon Valley serving corporate and small business clients by helping them craft solutions to hard business problems.  These solutions required a great deal of active listening, diplomacy, creative thinking, rapt attention to minute details and tactical support to achieve milestones in a timely and cost efficient manner.  These skills are all ingrained, and combined with over a decade of family care management experience provide me with the tools to help you and your loved one navigate through the next weeks, months or years.
