I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Certified Care Manager, Certified Dementia Practitioner, and Certified Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Trainer with the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP). I have spent my career in many different settings from community-based organizations, to hospitals, to long- term care facilities. The one consistent has always been a focus on education and training for staff and families. Together we can strengthen our health knowledge, transform our attitudes, and improve the quality of care we provide.
