About

Hi, I’m Laurie, and I’m passionate about brain health, dementia education, and caregiver wellness. With a background in clinical rehabilitation and mental health counseling, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals experiencing cognitive decline and the care partners who walk this journey alongside them.

​

My Background & Education

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling and am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC). My academic and professional journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, particularly those related to memory loss, cognitive health, and aging.

 

Professional Experience in Dementia Care & Support

​

For years, I have worked in the aging and dementia care field, providing guidance, resources, and education to caregivers and individuals facing memory loss. My experience spans:

• Conducting cognitive assessments and supporting families in understanding their loved one’s changing needs

• Coaching and educating caregivers on strategies to enhance communication, reduce stress, and improve quality of life

• Developing educational programs and workshops to empower individuals living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or dementia, as well as their families

• Advocating for brain health and dementia awareness through community outreach and digital content​

 

A Personal Connection to Caregiving

​

Beyond my professional background, my passion for this work is deeply personal. I understand the emotional, physical, and mental toll that caregiving can take. I also recognize the resilience and strength it requires. My mission is to create practical, supportive resources that make caregiving more manageable while ensuring that those in this role feel seen, supported, and valued.
