I believe therapy should feel personal, meaningful, and tailored to you—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work with individuals across the lifespan, but connect especially well with young adults through middle age navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck. My clients are often motivated for change, seeking to better understand themselves, build resilience, and create more fulfilling, balanced lives. I also have experience supporting military families and individuals from diverse backgrounds.

My approach to therapy is grounded in person-centered theory, which recognizes that at our core we are all good people who are just trying to “make sense” of our complicated lives. I genuinely believe that every person is born with an inner strength and resilience to help them live their best life by being their true self. As your therapist, I can help you to identify and embrace your strengths and help you through the challenges in your life. My top priority is to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, honesty and compassion. I create a safe, positive, uplifting and nurturing environment to help clients feel empowered.

As we journey through life, many factors blend to form who we are today. When we experience hurts, abuses, traumatic events, or unhealthy relationships we learn to find survival mechanisms that served their purpose at the time but are no longer effective in the present. I use a client-centered approach tailored to meet your individual needs to find the best path to healing. I chose counseling as a career because I have had a life-long passion for helping people.

I work with a very broad set of human issues and consider myself a generalist in behavioral health. Some of my favorite work is with families. In particular with blended families. If you're a step-parent and are trying to find your role, or if you feel like a single parent because your partner is frequently away, or if you’re a single parent trying to hold it all together, I can help you and your family find some balance. I also help parents who are separated and/or divorced remain effective.
I also work with adults who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and fallout from trauma.

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 counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize 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. Counseling 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 counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing 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 counselors 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.
