Specializing in Older Adults, caregivers, and family members. My passion is providing counseling for concerns related to aging, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, loss, life adjustments, transitions, dementia, grief, and more. I would love to hear from you and speak with you on the phone, please reach out.
I’m a compassionate, respectful, and effective therapist. For over 20 years, I’ve helped people improve their mental health and relationships. I also have extensive experience with issues of aging, grief and loss. My approach is solution-focused, stressing your strengths and values and how they can be used to overcome your problems.
I’d love to help you improve your mood, have greater self-confidence, and have more peace of mind. As your counselor, I’d be honored to help you create richer relationships and an overall more rewarding life. Contact me for a 15-minute no-charge conversation. You can tell me your concerns, and we’ll determine if we’re a good fit to work together.
