My Approach
Dementia can bring unique challenges for both individuals and their families. My goal is to create a calm, empathetic environment that allows for moments of clarity and meaningful connection. I use symbolic sketches, gentle energy work, and a heart-centered approach to engage with patients, offering a special way to communicate beyond words.
Why Symbolic Sketches?
By drawing simple, evocative symbols (like snowflakes, windows, or mountains), I provide a visual “map” that can resonate with a patient’s memories or feelings. These symbols can spark recognition, foster moments of awareness, and serve as a gentle bridge for communication.

Working With Caregivers
Caregivers often feel overwhelmed and isolated. My sessions include guidance that offers spiritual support, emotional validation, and practical tips to enhance communication with loved ones. By understanding these symbolic “maps,” caregivers can reconnect with family members in a deeply moving way.

- Calmer, more engaging interactions
