I also have expertise in art therapy for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's Disease and
Alzheimer's
Disease, brain injury recovery, and caregiver support relating to these disorders.
I offer person-centered, trauma-informed art therapy and psychotherapy. My multifaceted experience lends me an adaptive approach in supporting each individual's goals in a supportive, non-judgmental manner. Sometimes that involves art-making, sometimes conversation, often both. I personally understand the transformative capacity of creative expression, and enjoy guiding people through that process. I am passionate about the neuroscientific reasoning behind human experiences, habits, patterns, and responses. I find art an invaluable tool in illuminating and facilitating that reasoning.

Mindful Medication Management(tm) after 25 years of clinical experience my fundamental belief is this that true healing begins with mindfulness. My practice is a marriage of the science of western medicine and the art of eastern healing philosophies. Medications help control symptoms while mindfulness helps uncover root causes of disease. Mindful Medication Management means I provide needed prescriptions for anxiety, depression, cognitive impairment/
dementia
, and sleep disorders while using an integrative approach to help uncover possible causes such as nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or other stressors overlapping symptoms. Together we design strategies that may help gradually reduce dosages or the number of medications you take.

Are you having difficulty returning to work, school, or spending time in public due to worries about COVID19 or social anxiety? Has the pandemic exacerbated anxiety and obsessive thinking about health issues? The world is ready to reopen but maybe you aren’t quite there yet (and that’s okay!) and don’t know how to navigate it. Or, are you a young adult experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or OCD? Life after high school, during college, and after college can be stressful and high pressure, as are the huge decisions that come with it. I call these “life transitions” and they can often exacerbate mood symptoms and open up old wounds.

Empowering them in a genuine, straightforward, and relaxed atmosphere to step into the brave space where they are able to find their truth, speak it, and live it. My integrative approach is tailored to each client. During this process the client learns how to accept where they are in this moment.

We can't always control what life brings our way, but we can choose how we respond to it. I enjoy helping people reconnect with their natural wisdom in the midst of life's challenges. My goal is to help my clients gain awareness of what is already working in their lives and what patterns and habits have become outdated or self-defeating. A situation, problem or symptom that appears unworkable or overwhelming can offer the key to its own healing when held with gentle, inquisitive attention.

Not all therapists are able to support you fully when medical or other conditions have caused cognitive decline. This is my specialty. Having worked closely with neurologists, radiologists and many other medical specialties, I can offer you neuropsyc or psych evaluations and brain maps that shed light on problems, and create a treatment plan that really makes a difference. We've helped folks with brain injury or general concerns for cognition, restore memory and attention skills, get to better thinking and reasoning, and enhanced joy in life. I go beyond the limits where others stopped, because rehabilitating brains is my passion.

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.
