Your brain won’t shut off. The intrusive thoughts, the rituals, the what-ifs, it’s exhausting. Maybe you’re constantly seeking reassurance, avoiding things that trigger anxiety, or stuck in mental loops that make no sense but feel impossible to stop. You know the fears aren’t rational, but that doesn’t make them any less intense. OCD isn’t just about cleanliness or order, it can latch onto anything, from relationships to safety to daily routines. If you’re feeling trapped by anxiety and compulsions, you’re not broken and you don’t have to manage it alone. There’s a way forward.

Change, growth, and life transitions, whether expected or not, are part of being human. Even seemingly small experiences can leave lasting impacts, affecting how we function day to day. Many of us carry unresolved experiences or painful memories from our past that still influence our present. You might have been taught, directly or indirectly, that staying silent or pushing these things aside is the “right” way to cope. But if that approach is no longer working, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or like life is spiraling out of control.

You are an individual. There is no one else quite like you. Your therapy should be as unique as you are. We are all the products of our past, from experiences that happened so long ago that they escape memory to what happened just as we opened the door to the present moment. Through it all, we learn the skills that protect us on this journey through the interpersonal world. We sometimes struggle to be our authentic selves because there is no SELF without the context of the OTHER. Each of us is a single being trying to be seen as we see ourselves in a never ending sea of often confusing but always important social interaction.

I work with couples (and individuals) who feel stuck in cycles of miscommunication, emotional disconnection, or are trying to navigate the impact of infidelity.

I offer a warm but direct approach—creating a space where both partners feel understood while also addressing what’s not working. Together, we break unhealthy patterns, rebuild trust, and develop clearer, more effective ways to communicate and reconnect.

FAQ - About Therapy for Elders
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.
