Are you struggling to come to terms with a painful loss or changes in your life? Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a serious illness or the burden of caregiving, nothing really prepares us for grief when it arrives. The emotions may feel overwhelming and it’s natural to want to avoid them altogether. For a while you can survive by staying busy and distracting yourself, but these strategies are not sustainable forever. If you already had underlying anxiety or are a parent, grief can feel like just one more thing to manage. Healthy, active grieving is the way forward.

Are you depressed? Do you feel alone in a room full of people? Do you find yourself wanting to cry but not knowing why? My favorite quote is, "The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality" and I wholeheartedly believe in it. Depression does not discriminate. I specialize in depression treatment among different populations- infertility, perinatal mood disorders, older adults, and midlife adults. Another speciality includes caregiving and different types of grief. You don't have to do this alone. I believe therapy makes the world a better place and you are brave for seeking help.

I am a clinical neuropsychologist, practicing in Georgia since 2008. Typically, a patient seeking neuropsychological evaluation has a cognitive problem, cause unknown, which has disrupted their day-to-day life. Many patients have already seen a neurologist and have been referred for neuropsychological testing. In this case, test results are used determine the nature and extent of cognitive difficulties, and then to help guide further treatment. There are also many cases where a patient seeks a consultation on their own due to concerns about potential cognitive problems they are experiencing.

The study of psychology to me isn't the study of the mind as most would believe. But rather it's the study of the soul. The word psychology comes from the Greek word 'psyche' (or soul) and 'logos' (or study) which concludes that psychology literally means the study of the soul. As a care specialist I desire to be a holistic care provider embracing both the study of the soul and behavior. I have provided various spiritual and bereavement care and support counseling throughout my career. As a pastor I've utilized my clinical training to help trouble souls.

Alzheimer's Therapists
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
The first-line treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is often medication, which may be prescribed based on the severity of the disease. These include cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, or a combination of the two. Behavioral treatments can help people cope with emotional distress, such as anxiety or anger, and explore lifestyle changes related to housing, caregiving, sleep, and finances.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of dementia. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with treatment and plan for the future in terms of housing, support, finances, and legality.
Are there specific medications to treat Alzheimer’s?
Medications approved by the FDA to manage symptoms of Alzheimer’s include galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s, and memantine, donepezil, and the rivastigmine patch for moderate to severe Alzheimer’s. These drugs can help manage the disease, but no drug currently cures the disease. Medications recently approved by the FDA, such aducanumab and lecanemab may slow the disease course, but aspects of their effectiveness are still debated.
Are there natural treatments for Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s disease cannot be cured via natural remedies (nor via medication), but some lifestyle habits can help forestall it or slow its progression. Lifestyle activities that can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease include regular exercise, a healthy, well-rounded diet, stimulating cognitive activity, time spent socializing, adequate sleep, and stress management as needed.
