About Peggy
​Through both personal and many years of professional experience, I understand the immense challenges that individuals living with a dementia diagnosis and their loved ones face.
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I offer counseling to individuals, couples and families faced with a new dementia diagnosis or dementia which is advancing.
​
My counseling style balances guidance with compassion. I help my clients manage the uncertainty about the future and offer practical solutions in situations that seem unsolvable.
