About

I am a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping adults enhance their overall well-being. I specialize in supporting older adults and their families as they navigate the opportunities and challenges of aging, with a focus on promoting healthy aging and emotional well-being. My goal is to optimize functioning and enhance quality of life, even when facing complex health conditions like dementia.

I take a strengths-based approach to mental health, recognizing that everyone has the capacity to thrive, grow, and find meaning at every stage of life. My care is personalized and evidence-based, tailored to the unique needs of older adults, caregivers, and families.

  • Dementia and Cognitive Decline: I provide specialized support for families managing the challenges of dementia, enhancing their loved one’s quality of life.

  • Healthy Aging and Preventive Care: I assist clients in maintaining resilience and vitality through the aging process, focusing on physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.
