About Stephanie

I am a social worker who is dedicated to serving people in need of care and guidance to improve their lives. I've spent my career uplifting individuals who have lost their will and helping them navigate their way out of difficult situations. I shifted my focus after providing full time in home care for my father-in-law who was suffering from multiple health problems to include kidney failure/dialysis, diabetes, retinal neuropathy, congestive heart failure, pleural effusion, etc. The list was long, the appointments were daily and I dedicated 6 months to him after he was given 2 weeks to live. He was depressed, wheelchair bound and waiting to die before he moved in with us. By the time he had passed he was walking again and had regained his excitement for life. It breaks my heart to see people lose their will to live and I thrive on uplifting people any way that I can.
