About me
Specializing in the challenges of aging — from preparing emotionally and practically for retirement, building back after the loss of a spouse, to navigating the weight of chronic illness in yourself, a spouse, or an aging parent. I am a trained dementia therapist, and certified by the Center for Mental Health and Aging. Let me help you find your footing after a dementia diagnosis and navigate that journey as a patient or a caregiver.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In my practice I can assess cognitive decline, dementia, depression, anxiety and offer a thoughtful blend of coaching, counseling, and consulting tailored to meet you exactly where you are. I offer a warm and practical person-centered approach that helps families, caregivers and individuals reduce stress, improve daily life and preserve dignity.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I've spent my career believing that the right support at the right moment can change everything for a person. I work with individuals and families who are navigating some of life's biggest and most tender transitions. I've spent years at the intersection of healthcare and human connection, and I'm bringing everything I've learned to sit alongside you. I am certified in Mental Health and Aging and Dementia Therapy and have worked with dementia patients and their families, aging Veterans managing the long term affects of PTSD and older adults struggling with depression, anxiety and grief.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
The majority of my clients are over age 50 and are managing a significant life transition. Many report feeling depressed or anxious and are struggling with a chronic illness or dementia/Parkinson's diagnosis themself, or in a family member. Many of my clients are caregivers who struggle to juggle it all. We will utilize skills a variety of person-centered approaches, skills found in DBT, CBT and solution focused treatment to bring you relief as quickly as possible.
