I am Licensed in MA & RI and I work with all people who identify first and foremost as being human, and who are imperfect by nature even if this is hard to admit to self and others; adults, couples, children, teens and their families. My approach is unique in that it involves individual self exploration and discovery rather than diagnosis and treatment plans. My work is based on relationship building which always begins with the relationship with self. My work with children and teens has a strong family component since improving these family of origin relationships supports life long wellness in all members of the family.

Not accepting new clients
Currently Not Accepting New Clients: I practice with the core belief that every client possesses answers within themselves to address and resolve their issues or difficulties. Many times those answers or truths are not clearly visible to the person due to factors such as unhealthy/familiar patterns, addictions/compulsions, mood/anxiety disorders just to name a few. It is therefore my job as the therapist to help clients not only overcome these factors to discover their truths but also to put these new patterns and truths into action. Once achieved the client can access a more balanced and satisfying life.

It can be challenging to recognize that changes need to be made in your life and in your relationships. Yet, when conflicts begin to resolve and life becomes “smoother,” therapy becomes its own reward. As a therapist, I focus on creating a trusting and compassionate environment where you will feel safe in areas that await healing. I offer a shelter where you will learn to identify patterns that keep you ‘stuck’ and where you can explore new approaches and strategies that will allow your potential to blossom.

Alzheimer's Therapists

What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?

The first-line treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is often medication, which may be prescribed based on the severity of the disease. These include cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, or a combination of the two. Behavioral treatments can help people cope with emotional distress, such as anxiety or anger, and explore lifestyle changes related to housing, caregiving, sleep, and finances.

When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?

It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of dementia. 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 treatment and plan for the future in terms of housing, support, finances, and legality.

Are there specific medications to treat Alzheimer’s?

Medications approved by the FDA to manage symptoms of Alzheimer’s include galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s, and memantine, donepezil, and the rivastigmine patch for moderate to severe Alzheimer’s. These drugs can help manage the disease, but no drug currently cures the disease. Medications recently approved by the FDA, such aducanumab and lecanemab may slow the disease course, but aspects of their effectiveness are still debated.

Are there natural treatments for Alzheimer’s?

Alzheimer’s disease cannot be cured via natural remedies (nor via medication), but some lifestyle habits can help forestall it or slow its progression. Lifestyle activities that can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease include regular exercise, a healthy, well-rounded diet, stimulating cognitive activity, time spent socializing, adequate sleep, and stress management as needed.
