Welcome to Windsong Therapy. You wouldn't be here reading this if you were not going through something painful or difficult. The good news is that pain is often the touchstone of changing for the better. I want to help. I don't believe you become a good therapist just from school or books. It also requires living real life which includes pain, struggle and finding courage, tools and solutions to not only overcome, but then share that knowledge and experience with others.

You may feel overwhelmed, restless, and found yourself so far from where you want to be. You might be staring down the path of ongoing life stressors like chronic illness, endless busyness, or a devastating relationship dynamic prompting a seemingly permanent emotional response. This may contribute to feelings of discontentment, helplessness, and inadequacy. You are not alone in searching for a way to heal and attempt to understand why you’re in this painful rut. You’ve decided it’s time you reach out for help with the goal of feeling “okay,” and maybe even experiencing joy again.

Life throws many challenges our way and we choose which action to take in responding to those challenges.

The key to achieving the quality of life you desire is a cumulative process of growing in wisdom, right choices & maturity. The feeling or thought that you are doing it alone can be devastating & sometimes you need an honest and caring individual to walk alongside you, lend you a hand and help you get unstuck from frustration, denial, or conflict. As a MFT with over 20 years experience I specialize in providing assistance to people, such as yourself, that just need a little support to overcome the obstacles of fear, indecision, or sadness that are in their relationships.

You’ve learned how to keep going—meeting expectations, carrying responsibility, and staying functional—even when your body and mind feel worn down or on edge. You may notice irritability, emotional distance, difficulty relaxing, or ways of coping that once helped but no longer feel aligned with who you are. Therapy here is trauma-focused, client-centered, and paced with care, honoring your experiences while supporting deeper regulation, connection, and choice. The work is collaborative and attachment-focused, creating space for healing to unfold without pressure, judgment, or loss of control. I treat individuals and families.

Rather than list my technical skills or present a diatribe about my approach to psychotherapy, I will tell you a few significant facts about myself and the work we will do together. I have been providing treatment for 30 years. My clients improve, they recover, and they heal. I assist people who suffer from anxiety and depression through insight and introspection focused on the analysis of a patient’s deep-seeded fear-related trauma and how that fear impacts the NOW . I focus on channeling the energy that can be harnessed from fear, a powerful human emotion that can rob us of our life energy.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
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.
