Caregiver Support for Neurocognitive Disorders & Dementia

Caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s is heartbreaking in a way most people cannot understand. You are grieving a person who is still alive. You feel guilty for being angry or exhausted. You make impossible decisions every day about safety and care, and you often do it completely alone.

I know this because I spent years working directly with families inside memory-care communities and skilled nursing facilities. I was there for the new diagnoses, the escalating behaviors, the tears after visits, and the overwhelming guilt when placement became the only option.

I provide specialized support for individuals, couples, and families navigating these transitions. Whether you are a solo caregiver or a family struggling to stay on the same page, you need a space to be honest about the resentment, the nameless grief, and the fear.

You have carried enough. You do not have to carry this part alone.

Healthcare & Helping Professionals

Healthcare professionals give everything to their patients, but very few people hold space for providers when they are running on empty. I have worked alongside staff in memory care and SNF settings. I understand the compassion fatigue and quiet grief that come with this job.

I offer sessions to help navigate the unique strain this work places on your life and your relationships. Whether you are part of a dual healthcare household or the only professional in your family, these sessions are a judgment free place to process the weight you carry. We will work together to set boundaries without guilt and rebuild resilience so you can keep showing up without breaking.

Anxiety & Depression

High-achieving perfectionists, sandwich-generation adults, and anyone stuck in worry or low mood — I help you quiet the constant “not enough” voice and move from surviving to actually living. Using ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based work, we untangle overwhelm, build flexibility, and create a life that feels like yours again.

How We Work Together

In our work together, we focus on giving you steady ground again. Sessions are practical, compassionate, and built around what you need most right now. Whether you are navigating individual challenges, working through relationship strain as a couple, or managing family dynamics, my approach remains the same. By integrating ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Relational therapy, we focus on:

• Accepting the Uncontrollable (ACT): We work on letting go of the idea that everything is yours to fix. You can love others deeply and still accept the limits of what anyone can control. You will learn skills to ride the waves of grief, anger, and resentment without drowning in them.

• Shifting Your Narrative (CBT): We examine the thought patterns that keep you stuck in "shoulds" and guilt. We get clear on what matters most to you so that choices about care, work, or the future feel aligned with your own heart.

• Healing Through Connection (Relational): We explore how to stay connected to the people you love and to yourself even when illness or responsibility changes the dynamic. Whether in individual or multi-person sessions, we create a safe space to practice setting boundaries and reclaiming your sense of self.

This is not about becoming a "better" caregiver or a "better" anything. It is about making sure you still have a life, a sense of self, and some peace left at the end of the day.
