You can't take it anymore! You're tired of caring for others and neglecting yourself! Not feeling yourself anymore? Feeling down, stressed, or just overwhelmed? All of us experience pain from our past, or anxiety about the future at some point in our lives. Sometimes we’re even confused about our experiences and life decisions. How we tackle life issues, however, is unique to the individual. Sometimes our conflict is temporary, while others are reoccurring and long lasting. It’s okay! Value in Therapy can help!

I have many years of experience working with caregivers of those experiencing dementia, including early or young-onset dementia, and other serious illness.
9/5/25: Accepting new clients. I truly believe it is never too late to learn about yourself and take steps toward a full, meaningful life.

During my 20 years as a social worker, I’ve been honored to help older adults and their families adapt & cope with age-related stressors & challenges in ways that recognize the importance of one’s internal and external resources.
“Aging is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength." Betty Friedan. This quote succinctly captures the crossroads we all face, as we age: one can look back with a sense of loss and remorse or one can move forward with hope and inspiration for a better now. Friedan chooses the path towards opportunity and strength. Which path would you like to take? How does one face the myriad of changes that this stage of life presents? Grief & loss. A changing body & mind. Retirement & new freedoms. Family relationships & caregiver concerns. What support would you like along this complex and often unpredictable path?

Approaching therapy can be really overwhelming. In reality, therapy with me is about stripping everything down and meeting you where you are. I became a therapist because I think everything begins with looking at life through your car window, and not holding any judgment on the feelings and experiences that come from that perspective. Many times we're led here because everything in our life feels too complicated- my role involves working by your side to learn how to untangle what feels too heavy and impossible. Through the therapeutic relationship we form I want to help you get to a place where you feel whole.

Life transitions can shake the ground beneath you — even when they’re the changes you hoped for. Whether you’re navigating a relationship shift, career change, identity exploration, grief, burnout, motherhood, coming out, or simply asking “Who am I now?” — you don’t have to figure it out alone. I specialize in working with women and LGBTQ+ individuals who are moving through seasons of change. My practice is an affirming, inclusive space where every part of you is welcome. Together, we make room for both the messy and the meaningful — the fear and the hope — the grief of what was and the possibility of what’s next.

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.
