Caregiver Support for Neurocognitive Disorders & Dementia

Caring for someone with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or another neurocognitive disorder is heartbreaking in a way most people can’t 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, care, and what comes next, 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 in the hallway after visits, and the overwhelming guilt when placement finally became the only option.

That experience showed me that caregivers need their own space to be honest about how hard this really is. In my practice, you can talk about the resentment, the grief that has no name, the fear, and the exhaustion without having to explain or defend it.

You have carried enough. You don’t have to carry this part alone.

Healthcare & Helping Professionals

Nurses, physicians, social workers, CNAs — you give everything to your patients and residents, but who holds space for you when you’re running on empty? I’ve worked alongside you in memory-care and SNF settings, so I understand the compassion fatigue and quiet grief that come with the job. Sessions are a judgment-free place to process the weight you carry, 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’re caring for someone with dementia, working on the front lines of healthcare, or carrying the weight of daily overwhelm, the way we work together 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 someone 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. We use our therapeutic relationship as a safe space to practice setting boundaries and reclaiming your sense of self.

This isn’t 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.
