Elderly Persons Disorders
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
There are so many things about getting older that no one talks about. Losing friends and family, losing the ability to do certain things you used to enjoy, aches and pains from illness or just from things wearing out, not being able to drive anymore or feel as independent. Many things people take for granted can start to be lost as we age. I work with people experiencing these changes to help process what is going on and how to adjust to new limitations. I also work with people on what is meaningful to them and what things they can do now to enjoy their life and find purpose and connection in it.

Supporting older adults and their families with changes in functional or cognitive status and the correlated lifestyle changes is an area that I am very passionate about. As a discharge specialist within healthcare, I have supported many individuals and their families with providing education, guidance and support of new diagnosis' such as mild cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Whether you or your loved one is struggling with recent changes in their independence, requiring further support or a new living environment such as a retirement home or LTC placement, I can help support and guide you in the right direction.

Counsellor/Therapist, RPCC, RTCC, CCPA
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia can be an emotionally taxing journey, and it is essential for caregivers / loved ones to seek counselling to navigate their feelings and enhance their coping strategies. The realities of these disorders often include unexpected changes in behavior, memory loss, and shifts in personality that can be difficult for families to process. Counselling provides a safe space for caregivers to express their fears, frustrations, and sadness, helping them to understand that their feelings are valid and shared by many others in similar situations.
