For over 15 years, I’ve worked alongside individuals and families impacted by addiction, trauma, and the quiet weight of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while carrying anxiety, depression, shame, or unresolved experiences on the inside. If you’re tired of holding it all together alone, therapy can be a place to finally exhale. Struggling doesn’t mean broken, it often means you’ve been surviving for a long time. I offer a warm, steady space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or already know the answers. Our work is grounded, collaborative, and very human

I have been a Hypnotherapist for the past seven years. I encourage our patient's ability for “self-healing,” utilizing the “power in their minds.” I am a firm believer that positive change is possible by simply reprogramming thinking and the workings of the mind. I recognize the beauty of Hypnotherapy has the potential to assist patients in being released from the "root cause(s)" of his/her current condition or characteristic. Hypnotherapy is used in addition to other forms of therapy. It is often used with other psychological or medical treatment. Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a number of emotional, physical illnesses.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1988. In that time I have come to believe that many individuals are healthier than they may think. The reasons are many. However, one problem stands out. That is, people tend to unconsciously use our western culture as a barometer for their emotional well being. That's a major issue! If society was a human individual, it would meet diagnostic criteria for several disorders. Our culture has developed a narcissistic-addictive personality organization that is defended by compulsive activity, distractions of all sorts and a desire for immediate gratifications.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialize 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 specialize 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 Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialized 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 specializing 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.
