About

I am a Geriatric Counselor and I have pioneered a talk therapy approach to Dementia Treatment I call the DreamRem Method. It is a method that focuses on conducting a structured life review in order to chronical and celebrate the life of the Dementia patient. Self-esteem often suffers in those that develop Dementia and the Dream Rem Method helps to bolster the self -esteem to the persons suffering with Dementia. The DreamRem Methiod is most effective for those in the beginning to middle stages of Dementia. I work as well with seniors who are dealing with adjustment issues related to the changes around retirement. I deal with the grief from a loss of a spouse or family member. I have worked with a senior population since 1990.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is convenience – clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
