Elders (65+) Therapists in Washington, DC

I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in understanding relationships, both with yourself and with others. I graduated from a psychology doctoral program in 2004 and have worked at psychiatric and health rehabilitation hospitals, community mental health center, and long term care facilities, treating adolescents, adults and seniors. I have had a full- time private practice for over 13 years.

As a senior therapist, my practice focuses on maintaining psychological health and well being for seniors who might prosper from making psychological adjustments in light of newly emerging age-related obstacles. Some may need to manage declining vitality and declining abilities, or to accept a changing sense of one's physical condition, or to cope with new losses and new fears. For others, troubling thoughts of past losses and traumas may come into heightened focus. Establishing new but vital relationships may become necessary and it may be helpful to forge new roles to enhance the pleasure of this life stage.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking counseling for the first time and those who are looking for a therapeutic relationship. Many of my clients range in age from adolescence to seniors. Jackson Marriage and Family Counseling offer brief and intensive psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families.
