I help families understand the what, when, and why of dementia — so they can master the how of caregiving with clarity and confidence.
Over the past decade, I have worked alongside more than 700 families in memory care, hospice, and private consulting settings, translating complex medical realities into steady, practical guidance.
Through Better Dementia™, I provide structured dementia caregiver education and national support designed to reduce conflict, anticipate change, and preserve dignity throughout the journey.

A Clearer Path Through the Dementia Journey
Better Dementia is grounded in a simple belief: caregivers do better when they understand the what, when, and why of dementia.
Rather than offering quick fixes or generic advice, this work focuses on helping caregivers:
understand how dementia changes the brain
recognize patterns in ability and behavior
adapt care as needs evolve
preserve dignity for both the person with dementia and themselves
This approach creates steadiness — even when the journey is difficult.
