Dementia & Neurodegenerative Disorders and Caregivers

Living with or caring for someone with MCI, dementia, or other Neurodegenerative disorders, can be overwhelming and deeply emotional. Whether you are adjusting to a new diagnosis, noticing changes in memory and independence, or navigating the progression of dementia, it can bring grief, fear, uncertainty, and exhaustion for everyone involved.

I spent years working directly with older adults and families inside memory care communities and skilled nursing facilities. I supported individuals living with cognitive changes, as well as the loved ones caring for them through difficult decisions, changing roles, and the emotional weight that often comes with these transitions.

I provide specialized support for individuals living with MCI or early-stage dementia, as well as caregivers, couples, and families navigating these experiences together. Whether you are trying to process a diagnosis, maintain independence and identity, cope with caregiver stress, or navigate family dynamics, therapy can offer a space for honesty, support, and connection.

You do not have to carry this 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.

• Empowering Your Natural Resilience (Strengths-Based) We focus on identifying the unique skills and inner resources you already possess to navigate life’s shifts. Whether in individual or multi-person sessions, we work together to amplify your existing capabilities, helping you set firm boundaries and leverage your personal strengths to reclaim your identity and sense of agency.

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.
