Help for Patients and Caregivers

Dear Patients, Families and Caregivers,

If you or a loved one are struggling with illness, chronic disability or a medical or mental health crisis, let me help.    

• Are you overwhelmed by day-to-day challenges?
• Are you feeling alone, as if no one understands your pain, frustrations and fears?  
• Are you angry or finding it hard to communicate effectively with those close to you?
• Do you need guidance or advocacy in coping with medical decisions, financial pressures, the insurance maze, or home care or outpatient options?
• Do you and your family members need help in adjusting to limitations or demands on your time and physical and emotional energy?             

Counseling for Hope and Change can give you the emotional support and practical strategies that you need at an affordable cost.      

I get to know you as a person, your history and current life situation.

I help you to understand how your illness, disability or care-giving role can affect your self-esteem, relationships and functioning.    

We work together to investigate, plan, and facilitate strategies tailored to your needs. Counseling for Alzheimer's disease or other dementias is particularly effective in reducing caregiver stress.            

Informed patients and caregivers make better choices and feel better.
