“I created Artichokes & Aging because I’ve seen firsthand how exhausting and overwhelming this season of life can be—for individuals and for families. In those moments, you don’t just need services. You need a partner. You need someone who will step in, stand up for you, and help carry the weight when you can’t do it all yourself.”
- Andrea Pezel, LCSW, Founder and CEO
