Stefani Wilson, MS
Family Consultant
Stefani Wilson is a two-time graduate of Oklahoma State University where she focused her studies on Gerontology, Family Relationships and Community Counseling and maintains her License as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Stefani has concentrated her 20-year career on providing a range of supportive services for older adults and those who care for them. Stefani arrived in California in 2001 with a passion to help family members cope with the changes experienced during loss and life transitions. It was then that she discovered Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center and colleagues also dedicated to improving quality of life for family caregivers. After taking a professional break to expand her family and care for her son and daughter (now teenagers), Stefani returned to Del Oro where she loves connecting with family caregivers, facilitating support groups, collaborating with community resources and providing supportive educational workshops. Stefani describes her role at Del Oro as walking side-by-side with her clients along the caregiving journey and encourages all to “continue to practice self-care for it will only benefit everyone around you.” Singing while playing guitar, doing yoga, taking walks along the river, going on road trips, and spending quality time with family and friends are ways she engages in self-care in order to reduce compassion fatigue and rediscover the joy and purpose in caring for others.
