If you've ever dreaded going to therapy because of therapists who did not appear to genuinely be listening or said things that did not resonate with your beliefs, I'm your person.

My job is to work myself out of a job by giving you the tools you need to succeed- not to hold you hostage for more copays.

I am a person-centered, strengths-based therapist. Much of the traditional therapeutic process focuses on understanding the source of our pain and seeing how that pain creates patterns in our behavior that limit us. I certainly do that with my clients, but I also look for the behavior patterns that serve my clients as strengths that they’ve earned, strengths that they can use to live the lives that they choose for themselves. That’s because I know what it is to hurt until I thought I was going to break, but I also know what it is to find strength in those moments to move my life and my relationships to a better place.

I have been a clinical social worker for over twelve years and have worked in a variety of settings. I have worked with individuals diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use and Aspergers Disease. I have also worked with individuals with psychosis.
My desire is to listen to my clients to gain a better understanding of issues that brought them to therapy. This will allow me to better understand the goals that they have set for themselves and identify strategies to move forward.
My belief is that each individual has their own strengths but sometimes support and reflection are needed to reflect and build upon those strengths

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.
