Having experience with caregivers in geriatric psychiatry, chronic illness and acute care, you can expect that I will be familiar with the complexities of juggling many roles and expectations.
My specialisation is in supporting caregivers who are worried for loved ones experiencing mental or physical health issues, and adult children of emotionally immature parents. I can help adult children of immigrant parents, working caregivers, children of the “sandwich generation” and other adults feel peace and power. I can help carers to find and use the tools needed to deal with loved one’s expectations, lack of insight, need for attention, and in accessing the available supports for attending to complex care needs. You can expect a safe space with me, regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Serving adults, seniors, pre-teens, women, and South Asian communities.

If you've found yourself here, know that reaching out is one of the most courageous things you can do. I believe deeply that every person carries an inner spark. Sometimes life, society, or the weight of what we've inherited dims that light. Therapy, at its heart, is the work of finding it again.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to shrink ourselves to stay loved, accepted, or safe. If that sounds familiar, you might be carrying childhood trauma, faith-based trauma, or the weight of navigating your identity within your culture, your family, or the LGBTQ2IA+ community. You might be neurodivergent and still figuring out what that means for how you move through the world. I work with adolescents and adults facing these experiences, including depression, C-PTSD, family dysfunction, and relationship challenges, and I bring culturally responsive care that honours where you come from.

You feel constantly drained, yet unable to fully shut off. Even when you try to rest, your mind stays busy, replaying responsibilities, expectations, and what still needs to be done. The pressure never really lifts. Tasks pile up faster than you can clear them, and even when you are productive, it never feels like enough. It can feel like swimming upstream in a steady current, expending enormous effort just to stay above water. You are exhausted, but your system does not know how to slow down.

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.
