MY APPROACH

Circle
Me

At Key Transitions Group, our mission is to provide elegant solutions for life’s later transitions. We specialize in helping older adults and their families navigate the emotional and practical aspects of downsizing, relocating, or aging in place—with thoughtful, personalized support every step of the way. While senior-focused transitions are at the heart of what we do, we also offer professional real estate services for clients at any stage of life who are buying or selling a home.

HOW MY APPROACH IS DIFFERENT

I specialize in helping longtime homeowners navigate the emotional and logistical complexities of moving after many years in one place.

 

My personalized approach includes everything from identifying the next right home to decluttering, packing, and managing the details of moving day. In addition to guiding you through the transition, I also offer full support in preparing and selling your home.

 

Whether you're planning proactively or responding to a more urgent need, I provide the systems, resources, and compassionate guidance to make the process feel manageable and empowering.

 

At Key Transitions Group, we believe every move is an opportunity for a fresh chapter—let us help you unlock yours.

MY STORY

My own journey has shaped the way I approach this work. In 2006, my family and I relocated from our longtime home in California to North Carolina.

 

Leaving behind everything familiar, managing countless details, and adjusting to a new community gave me firsthand experience with the challenges of a major move.

 

Not long after, I helped both my grandmother and my mother make their own cross-country transitions.

​

Their moves were even more emotionally complex, having spent nearly their entire lives in California. Witnessing their struggles opened my eyes to the unique needs of older adults navigating similar transitions.

Why I Do This Work

"Moving is more than just a change of address—it’s a significant life transition, often filled with both emotional and logistical challenges, especially for older adults. I’ve dedicated my career to this work because it’s meaningful and deeply rewarding. Supporting seniors through these complex moves allows me to combine my professional expertise with my personal values—and make a real difference in people’s lives.


Today, I guide seniors and their families through every stage of the process. Some are preparing to move soon; others are exploring the idea and want to take small, intentional steps toward a future transition.

As a Certified Senior Downsizing Coach, I provide guidance, education, and reassurance—regardless of where someone is on their journey.


My approach is personal, compassionate, and always tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re downsizing from a longtime home, moving closer to family, or transitioning to a senior living community, I ensure you feel informed, supported, and confident in every decision.
