From young adults navigating independence to older adults adjusting to changes in health, work and life, I bring expertise from multiple roles (in university counselling, specialist community clinic, inpatient, cognitive care) and evidence-based practices - all tailored to each client.
Are you feeling worried all the time, gripped by sadness, or experiencing pandemic-related stress? Or perhaps navigating change and adversity against the backdrop of these unprecedented times? It is natural for intense feelings such as worry, depression, numbness, or panic to result. Sometimes, difficulties trigger changes in our behaviors and interests, or in our relationship to others or to ourselves. Whatever is bringing you to seek help, I want you to know that with the right support, things can feel manageable again. With skilled and culturally-sensitive understanding, you can move forward with greater confidence.

Hello, I am accepting new patients. Do you think you might be experiencing some anxiety or depression? Do you cope with chronic pain? Are you looking for support around parenting, women's issues, and/or grief? Sometimes, "life transitions" (ie: marriage, divorce, career change, adolescence to young adulthood, parenthood to grandparenthood, etc) throw some surprises at us. I can help you with these issues and other concerns you have. I come from a multi-cultural family and have traveled internationally. I grew up in an urban community and then in a rural community.

Dementia Therapists

Can dementia patients benefit from counseling?

Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counseling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counselors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counselors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.

How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?

To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.

What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?

There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioral and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.

When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?

It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
