Are you afraid to tell your partner about your personal truths? When people are feeling alone, they are disconnected. In these moments of isolation our thoughts of being not understood, or even loved can create reactions and responses that are less helpful. I work with my clients to identify these feelings and responses in order to uncover more fitting approaches to our inter/intra personal relationships. Lasting change sometimes begins with direct feedback. In our setting authenticity and understanding flow both ways. My specialty is helping you navigate newness with validation, support and the tools to generalize our work, to your personal and professional lives.

Sometimes we all can feel overwhelmed, especially these days. I know it can be a difficult decision to reach out to a psychologist. That's why my initial goal is to make the process as comfortable for you as possible because we know that success in therapy is directly related to the connection that develops between the client and therapist.

Building and maintaining romantic relationships always comes with its own set of challenges; and no two relationships are exactly alike. Whether the relationship is new or more established, differences are inevitable and conflict will arise; everyone has their own baggage. Having been an MFT for 15+ years, I can offer couples (both as a unit and as individuals) guidance and support in navigating their relationships, from setting up healthy/realistic expectations from the outset, moving forward after adultery, goal-building, marital issues, trust building, blended families, divorce, etc. and more.

Geriatric and Seniors Therapists

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, dementia, and physical mobility challenges.

How can geriatric 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.

How is counseling for elderly different from counseling for other age groups?

Many aspects of geriatric counseling are similar to counseling in younger 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. However, therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients 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.

Can geriatric counseling help people who suffer from dementia?

Counseling can be highly effective for aging adults with dementia. While some therapists specializing in dementia may work with clients solely on topics surrounding memory loss, they can also assist clients with conditions that may co-occur at old age, such as anxiety or depression. Counselors specializing in working with older adults can also offer an objective assessment of a client’s functioning or disease progression to caregivers, and they may be particularly knowledgeable about community resources that may benefit dementia clients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia may also be trained in specialized forms of therapy for memory-loss|memory loss, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)—which can help mentally stimulate dementia clients to preserve cognitive functioning.
