You may be an older adult coping with changes in health, memory, identity, or independence. Or you may be a caregiver feeling stressed, worried, or emotionally worn down. You want support navigating anxiety, grief, role changes, or difficult family dynamics, while also having access to thoughtful guidance when questions about cognition, decision-making, or capacity arise.
I provide therapy for older adults and caregivers, focusing on aging-related transitions, caregiver stress, anxiety, depression, and adjustment to medical or cognitive changes. I also work with adults of all ages who are navigating concerns about addiction.
I provide telehealth services in over 40 states, in-office counseling in Colorado Springs, and in-home neuropsychological and capacity assessments for clients within 90 miles of Colorado Springs.
Later life and caregiving can bring up complex emotions and hard decisions. My approach is collaborative and grounded in respect for each person’s story and values. If you are seeking emotional support, clarity, or a therapist who understands both the human and clinical side of aging, reach out for a complimentary 15 minute consultation.
