My ideal clients are women in the middle years juggling teenagers, ageing parents, and careers, often burnt out and unsure where they went in it all; men learning to understand and regulate their emotions; and parents navigating the challenges of teenagers and tweens. What brings them to me is disconnection — from themselves, their feelings, or the people they love. I help them move forward by rebuilding connection, with self and others, through warm, practical psychology: real tools for emotional regulation, communication, and boundaries, so they can show up fully without losing themselves.

I work with couples who feel stuck in painful cycles of conflict, distance or disconnection. Often, communication has broken down, trust feels fragile, or one of both partners feel unheard, misunderstood or alone. Many couples come to therapy during periods of transition; parenthood, blended families, infidelity, illness or questioning whether the relationship can survive. They want to understand what's gone wrong, feel emotional safe again, and rebuild connection, intimacy and clarity about a way forward.
I also work with individuals ( with a MHCP) experiencing relationship difficulties, burnout, stress, anxiety and depression.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
