Protecting yourself from pain by trying not to feel it only causes more pain. Do you distract yourself from uncomfortable feelings by over-working, eating or drinking too much, shopping, or dating? Much unhappiness is created by no longer useful coping devices. Avoiding feelings like anger, shame, regret and powerlessness, closes off access to informative parts of you. In our work together, I utilize practical tools, not just theory, to help you identify and remain connected to your feelings. Staying connected to yourself while relating to others allows for loving in healthy ways and feeling loved and valued by others.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe in the task of choosing carefully the professional that you would feel comfortable enough to share intimate aspects of your life. My empathic approach creates an environment, in which trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between analyst and patient is an important tool in the exploration and understanding of patient's past and present behaviours.

Therapy can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I view therapy as an intentional and protected space to engage with oneself, cultivate understanding, and move toward growth. I value work that allows for reflection, curiosity, and learning how to tolerate the ambiguity around the challenges and joys we face during our lifetimes. My goal is to provide structure in moments that feel more chaotic, uncertain, or disconnected, as well as how to lean into moments of peace and joy.

We are often forced to confront stressful life transitions. College to work, parenting, retirement, caretaking, grief and beyond. If you are struggling, or just want to clear a new path, I can help you as you go through these transitions. I think one of the hardest parts is fear, uncertainty, feeling vulnerable, or perhaps being stuck. Or perhaps just outright exhausted. Lets work towards exploring and navigating to find what works best to help you move forward.

It's human nature to recreate what feels familiar to us, even when it's painful. We may find ourselves "walking on eggshells," accommodating to friends or a partner in ways that feel similar to the deference we showed to unpredictable parents in childhood. Or, we may avoid relationships even though we want them, fearing the potential for loss that comes with attachment and dependence. In both cases, we are likely playing out the patterns we learned in our most formative relationships.

Dementia Therapists
Can dementia patients benefit from counseling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counseling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counselors 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. Counselors 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 behavioral 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.
