Am I losing my memory? Do I have Alzheimer's disease? How can I keep my mind sharp? These are questions that I hear on a regular basis from my clients. We launched CerebroFit Integrated Brain Health to address these questions. Our company is based on research showing that healthy behaviors such as exercise, good nutrition, and treating mental illness are linked to better memory and cognitive functioning as we age, and can even slow down or prevent Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia .

Feeling overwhelmed? Tired of situations/outcomes not meeting your expectations? Burdened by the stress of a life that you thought you wanted while also questioning decisions about work, family & love? In order to bring positive change into ones life, you must first provide a safe and secure environment for one to reflect on their life. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be privilege to do the same for you.

Therapy for Caregivers acknowledges and understands the everyday challenges of being a caregiver whether it be a familial caregiver or professional caregiver. That’s why we believe in providing education around what caregiving is and why it looks different for every caregiver. Here are some real life caregiving situations I’ve seen first hand. A married couple with teenage children now finding themselves as the primary caregivers for their parents. A spouse caring for their partner with a new onset of dementia or end stage disease. A nurse, physician, or social worker who is experiencing compassion fatigue - extreme tiredness.

We all have times when difficult emotions become overwhelming and we are unsure what is the best way to cope or move forward. Seeking some guidance and support at these times is one of the healthiest and most courageous things you can do. For me, it is always an honor to become a trusted support and helpmate through difficult times and healing. Learn, Grow, Heal, and Flourish.

Working together we will address the root causes of your worries. Self-belief and self-confidence are significant factors of anxiety, but so are sleeping, eating, and exercising habits, as well as the impact of relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and with one’s environment.

Are you feeling depressed? anxious? Perhaps like you are not living to your best potential? As a psychotherapist, I help people create a safe space whereby building a relationship, unraveling issues, demystifying oneself, voicing hopes and dreams, and developing wisdom and insight, one can emerge from (and exist in) the forest that is life with a deeper understanding of how to navigate oneself and the world around us. It is my philosophy that great psychotherapy not only addresses the issues on the table, but also guides one towards greater overall life fulfillment.

Sometimes the families that look perfect on the outside struggle behind closed doors. Moms are grappling to make picture-perfect Pinterest parties for kids who barely speak to them, make sure her parents can still live independently, connect to husbands who are trying to succeed amid the stresses of work, all while surpassing expectations at the office. It's hard to explain to your teenager why they should have to work for their trip to Europe because it builds "character", in a Kardashian society.

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.
