Through 14 years of supporting adolescents as a high school educator, I have witnessed how overwhelming today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world can feel - especially for those navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, 2SLGBTQ+ identity, burnout, parenting or relationship challenges. My passion for supporting wellness has led me to psychotherapy with the awareness that many often struggle silently, compare themselves to others, and are unsure how to realign with their own values.

Would you agree that the world is a heavy place right now? That feelings of sadness, anxiety, and distress have become almost commonplace? This can impact our sleep, our school or work performance, and our relationships. On top of everything else in your life, perhaps you have endured the loss of a loved one or a treasured animal. Maybe you have a health issue, or are a senior trying to navigate the loss of some functionality. For some, the struggle is sharing something from their past, not knowing how to discuss it, or with whom. Sometimes life leaves us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone.

Evening Availability! - - - I help people navigate grief and loss, including life transitions like breakups, job loss, health changes, and more.

Together, we’ll create space for your experience, build clarity, and help you feel more connected.

Something brought you here.
Maybe it’s grief that lingers, or anxiety that’s taken over.
Maybe you’re burned out, overwhelmed, or simply not feeling like you anymore.
You’ve been carrying it for a while—quietly, maybe even invisibly. Something doesn’t sit right anymore, and you're ready for change. Ready for things to feel lighter, more manageable. Ready to feel like you again—or even get to know who you are now.

Do you ever feel like you’re holding everything together, yet still feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected—from others or even from yourself? Perhaps you’re tired of repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling with self-doubt, or feeling weighed down by expectations. On the outside, you might appear fine, but inside, you feel drained and unsure how to move forward. It doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy provides a safe space to slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin creating the changes you’ve been longing for. I work with clients using talk therapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR.

Accepting new clients this week! Over time, questions of identity and self-worth can start to feel louder- especially after a loss or a big change. Grief doesn’t only happen after someone dies. It can show up after a breakup, a friendship shift, moving, a job change, or realizing life isn’t going the way you hoped. You may notice it as restlessness, overthinking, low motivation, or a heavy sense of “what now?” Social anxiety and general anxiety can add pressure- worrying about what others think, replaying conversations, or feeling disconnected even when you’re not alone. Starting therapy can feel like a big first step- I understand.

While my background includes diverse clinical experiences across the lifespan, I am especially drawn to supporting older adults and guiding individuals through grief and significant life transitions.
We all carry unspoken narratives within. Taking the courageous step into therapy means you are ready to uncover these chapters and genuinely discover what comes next. While our conversations may compassionately explore challenging emotions and difficult patterns, I also believe therapy is a powerful space for relief, growth, and laughter. I believe healing flourishes through authentic human connection. Beyond my professional role, I bring authenticity inspired by my life as a pet owner, art appreciator, foodie, and lifelong learner.

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.
