Alzheimers Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I have personal experience working with persons with Alzheimer's. I understand that the best way to work with a person with Alzheimer's is to "join their reality". I utilize compassion and a gentle approach, sometimes with a touch of humor.

Alzheimers Therapy
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
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.
