My baby and I were honored to sit vigil for a cherished elder recently.

My son reached out his pudgy hand (95th percentile bb!), played his flute, and wandered the hospital halls waving at all who passed.

His unselfconscious loving presence and natural joy-spreading abilities help immensely amidst the waves of grief 🌊🌊🌊

As always, I am filled with awe to witness life passing, life continuing, the beauty and the heartache of this human condition 💗 ♾️ 💀

CALL TO ACTION: Contact your reps and tell them to sponsor the Multigenerational Caregivers Data act, which would require data collection identifying caregivers (folks who care for children dependents and elders) and therefore support policy, programs and resources to support caregivers and improve health outcomes 💪

When given the opportunity to address my fellow graduates of the CSUN MSW program, I knew I wanted to accomplish 2 things:

- Acknowledge the family, friends, and beloved pets I knew had died during our tenure (bc real life didn’t just stop cuz grad school was kicking our butts)
- Cultivate loving kindness for all who chose the social work profession

I shared some names and led a social worker inspired meditation, culminating in a Metta lullaby ✨

Here are the lyrics:

May I be filled with loving kindness
May I be well
May I be peaceful and at ease
May I be happy

May you be filled with loving kindness
May you be well
May you be peaceful and at ease
May you be happy

May we be filled with loving kindness
May we be well
May we be peaceful and at ease
May we be happy

May we be happy.

Thank you to my cohort for the honor of representing you! Watch the full 4 min speech at the link in profile!

Thank you Shane Portman for including me in issue #2 of SHRUB, the graphic medicine series out digitally today 🌳💀💗

SHRUB explores the various ways that we allow grief to take root. It’s a great series for middle grade audiences, dead dad’s club members, grief geeks, and graphic novel fans of all ages!

I was honored to be asked to contribute an essay on “Meeting people where they are in grief” for the second issue of this special series 📝

For my grad school capstone, I explored existential uncertainty around AI tech and mental health practice.

I found that many mental health professionals are optimistic about AI decreasing administrative tasks and increasing access to care.

My findings also highlighted how AI is already being used by clients and clinicians, despite a lack of ethical frameworks and AI literacy.

This research reinforced that, like it or NOT, mental health professionals hold a responsibility. We must educate ourselves and advocate NOW for AI tech that is grounded in human dignity, ethical practice, and social justice.

If we want future technology to reflect social work values, NOW is the time to help shape it.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts and engage further on this topic.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this research and supported my work, especially Dr. Jodi Brown. I’m excited to continue exploring the intersection of technology, meaning-making, and human connection in my career as a clinical social worker.

I graduated summa cm laude w my Masters in Social Work a few weeks ago 👩‍🎓

As a grief counselor and End-of-Life specialist, my intention in going to grad school was to expand knowledge of available resources and evidence-based tools while grounding my work in more ethical and sustainable practice. It worked! I am also now eligible to apply for licensure and tap into systems like insurance to sustain my services. The best part was the amazing community I gathered in my cohort & practicum sites. I am honored to call you my colleagues and excited for the work ahead of us.

Thank you to everyone who supported this journey 🥰

That’s a wrap on my internship at ! 🎬✨

Aging in Hollywood comes with its own unique challenges, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to support MPTF’s mission of helping community members live and age well with dignity, connection, and purpose through my placement in the Elder Connection program.

Over the past year, I had the honor of supporting clients through major life transitions by providing in-home therapy and case management, deepening my clinical skills and expanding my knowledge of the incredible resources available to older adults in our community.

What I’ll carry with me most is the joy of learning from my clients, colleagues, and supervisors during such a pivotal season of life.

As a cherry on top 🍒 I also had the opportunity to collaborate with fellow interns on a macro research presentation for the Geriatric Social Work Education Consortium exploring perceptions and biases surrounding social work with older adults.

Feeling deeply grateful for this experience and excited for what’s next. 💗
