Our ideal clients are children, adolescents, couples, and families who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are seeking support to move forward.

I support adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and life transitions. My clients often describe feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward. They’re seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, greater self-compassion, and the tools to create meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, blending evidence-based treatment with a deep respect for each person's unique story. I work with clients who are ready to move forward, at their own pace, toward a life that feels more grounded and authentic.

My clients often look confident and capable but feel unsettled inside. They long for connection yet fear being truly seen. Relationships can feel too intense or too distant. Many live with a harsh inner critic and a need to prove their worth, while quietly feeling empty or ashamed. What they want most is to feel real, to find a steadier sense of self not tied to success or approval. In our work, they begin to trust, connect more deeply, and relate to themselves and others with greater honesty and ease.

My ideal clients are adults experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. They are often reflective and seeking deeper understanding of recurring patterns in their emotional and relational life, and may notice a connection between psychological stress and the body.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialise in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.
Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.
What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialise in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialised modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.
Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specialising in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
