She also helps with memory and thinking concerns, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.

She helps patients and families understand next steps, what to watch for, and how plans can fit around real life. For many people, that steady, practical approach makes a big difference, even when the situation is difficult.
