I specialize in supporting older adults as they navigate changing health, increasing care needs, and the loss of independence. I also work with caregivers of aging parents—especially those supporting a loved one with dementia—who often carry exhaustion, guilt, grief, and deep love all at once. My approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and a steady presence. Whether you are an older adult facing new challenges or a caregiver trying to hold everything together, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Together, we’ll honor the realities of aging, and find support that feels both sustainable and hopeful.
My approach is compassionate, respectful, and centered on your story. I create a safe, supportive space and draw from trauma-informed, strengths-based care while focusing on what you need to feel seen. With experience in foster care, adoption, child welfare, family preservation, hospice, and palliative care, I honor your dignity, worth, and build resilience.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many people start therapy unsure of where to begin—that’s okay. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or ready for support, it can start with a simple phone call or email. You don’t have to do this alone; I’m here when you’re ready.
