Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.

Throughout my career, I have witnessed the profound impact that compassionate, knowledgeable support can have—not only on those living with dementia but also on their loved ones navigating the emotional and practical challenges of the journey. I have developed and delivered care plans tailored to each individual's needs, communicated effectively with multi-disciplinary teams, and empowered families with the education and tools they need to make informed decisions.
My experience has taught me that dementia care is not one-size-fits-all. It requires patience, adaptability, and above all, respect for the person behind the diagnosis. Whether working in care homes, community settings, or with outreach programs, I have consistently advocated for a holistic approach that values the person, not just the condition.
