Sometimes life can be a real kick in the pants, get messy, bog you down, or is just plain crappy. And that sucks. You might be experiencing difficult feelings, have challenges in connecting with others, or feel like coping with day to day stuff is too much. Maybe there have been ongoing patterns in your life that you want to stop repeating, or perhaps you have just had a big change, like a major loss, or change in your health. Whatever it may be, you recognize that you want something different for yourself. And that's a big deal.

Do you ever wake up already feeling tense or on edge? Maybe the voice in your head tells you you’re not doing enough, or you worry you’ll let someone down. You might be juggling so much—trying to keep everyone happy—that you’ve lost touch with your own needs. As a parent, partner, employee or caregiver, that constant pressure and self-doubt can be exhausting. Using IFS (Internal Family Systems) along with CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy and other modalities, I help clients understand the parts of themselves that carry stress or self-criticism and develop more balanced, confident ways to cope, connect, and care for themselves.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to ask for what you need, especially if you've spent years holding it together for everyone else. Maybe you're navigating a relationship that doesn’t feel quite right, questioning your identity, recovering from something no one else knows about, or just burnt out from always being “the strong one.” I work with adults of all genders navigating life transitions, emotional overload, trauma, relationship stress, and recovery from abusive relationships including narcissistic or covert abuse. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who feel lost or disconnected.

Can dementia patients benefit from counselling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counselling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counsellors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counsellors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.
How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioural and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
