Therapists for Seniors in Sacramento, CA
I was inspired to become a therapist as a young child, with the value of wanting to help others. Early in my career I had many mentors who encouraged me to become a therapist, they believed in me. In some moment, I realized I wanted to help people believe in themselves and to see their own possibilities. Validation is one of the most important tools I value as a therapist and as a person. I use the phrase, validate the other person's reality that may be different from your own. I teach clients to self validate, to know what you experienced is true and real.

Reflection and acknowledgement of our previous relationships are essential in developing new patterns and perspectives for our current and future relationships. A history of experienced distress, trauma, abuse, or betrayal from an intimate partner, friendship, colleague, and/or family member can have a dramatic affect on how we experience and approach new relationships. This may result in frequent conflict, fears of rejection, difficulties with trust, avoidance of vulnerability, and defensiveness. Recovering from a toxic relationship is possible.

Many people come to therapy with a sense that something in their relationships and lives isn’t working the way they hoped. You may notice yourself repeating patterns, feeling disconnected from a partner, or struggling to rebuild trust after hurt or betrayal. Often these struggles are rooted in deeper experiences that continue to shape how we show up in relationships. I work with individuals, families, and couples who are ready to look honestly at these patterns, heal from past wounds, and create more healthy and meaningful connections in their lives.

The people I work with often feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, stress, or low self-esteem. Some are navigating painful relationship patterns or major life transitions, while others are living with BFRBs, tic disorders, or exploring questions around sexuality and gender. They want more than symptom relief — they long to feel grounded, connected, and capable of change. My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from a wide range of evidence-based methods to create a path that fits each person. I offer warmth and support while also encouraging clients to step outside of their comfort zone.

If you feel scattered no matter how hard you try, start strong then lose follow-through, or live with a brain that won’t power down, you’re not alone. Attention and focus challenges can look like unfinished plans, chronic overwhelm, feeling constantly “on” and exhausted by your own thoughts. It can also spill into relationships: missed details, drifting attention, frustration, or attachment patterns that flare when you’re stressed. I work with clients to help them make sense of what’s happening and build a steadier, more workable way to live and connect. You can feel calmer, clearer, and more consistent.

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.
