I cried when my dad was diagnosed with dementia.  It’s been a rocky ride for him, my mom and our family.  That’s why I decided to get professional training in compassionate ways to deal with dementia. 

 

Today, my mission is to teach everyone I possibly can how to use these life changing skills to - 

​

• Take care of yourself and your loved one

• Reduce their distress and yours

• Keep them engaged in relationships & activities that bring them joy

• Keep them safe

• Form a team of care partners so you’re not doing this alone.

​

I don’t want you to see them as this horrible disease and be angry, frustrated and stressed out.  They are STILL IN THERE.  Let me help you love them.

​

I’ve worked in healthcare for more than 30 years and earned my master’s degree in psychology.

​

I’m a certified Positive Approach to Care™ independent trainer teaching compassionate, positive approaches to dementia care.

 

Get hope.  I can help.
