We all have times in life where we find ourselves presented us with challenges that can feel overwhelming. As a gerontologist and clinical social worker, I specialize in working with dementia, Alzheimer's, grief, chronic illness, and the complexities of aging. I warmly welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're a parent with a child dealing with school-related stress, an adult navigating life's transitions, or an older adult coping with the intricacies of aging, I'm here to provide a safe and welcoming environment where your experiences are valued with compassion and acceptance.

As your therapist, I will approach challenges with an open mind and seek to meet you where you are at. My hope is for clients to walk away from sessions feeling heard and seen.

I believe we all have the desire for growth and increasing our positive outlook on life. I want to help my clients work through past traumas and challenges affecting them still and causing them hurt and a feeling of being stuck. Therapy is an important investment you can make in your own life and own happiness with all the current stressors in life. I provide a safe space for you to express yourself, work through challenges and gain perspective into what’s needed for growth and positive change. If you’re experiencing anxiety or panic attacks I can help you manage these symptoms better and increase coping skills in your daily life.

Life transitions and change often bring up feelings of uncertainty and worry. Although, these transitions are often expected or even decided by us, it can cause an overwhelming sense of doubt and sometimes feelings of grief. I work with clients who are experiencing challenges with life transitions, like motherhood, coming in or out of a relationship, and grief and loss. My approach is to make meaning of your losses and transitions, support you through your experience and identify strategies to help you feel grounded, connected and seen.

Serenity, Equanimity, Peace of Mind. Are these qualities sorely missing from your life? You are not alone. Most Westerners experience rushed living, lack of acceptance, anxious and depressed mood - what inevitably amounts to suffering. While pain is a universal experience, with practice suffering can become optional. But lack of skill, low motivation, and general haggardness of life prevent many from consistent self-care which can alleviate suffering. If this is your story, The Serenity Center was opened with you in mind. Reducing suffering to manageable levels is an achievable goal - and all you may need is a skillful guide.
