With extensive experience and a deep understanding of the complexities of Alzheimer's, I provide personalized therapy tailored to address cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and emotional distress. Together, we will work collaboratively to develop coping strategies, enhance communication, and promote quality of life for both individuals with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.
It is a scary experience to watch those we love and care for decline and become shadows of themselves. When we lose connection to our past, we can feel fearful, angry, and sad about what is being taken away. This does not have to be the last word however. We can still make meaning in our lives that continues to provide us with a sense of purpose and value.
Navigating the complexities of dementia or Alzheimer's disease can be incredibly challenging, especially when coupled with unresolved trauma which often leads to persistent anger. I specialize in offering support tailored to individuals experiencing cognitive decline. Using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I provide a safe and compassionate space for those with dementia or Alzheimer's - and their loved ones - to address past traumas and manage difficult emotions. My approach recognizes the unique needs of each client, offering techniques to promote healing and enhance quality of life, even amidst cognitive challenges.
