Do you feel like you’re constantly fighting an uphill battle with your own brain? Maybe you’re struggling to stay organized, feeling paralyzed by a never-ending to-do list, or wondering why "simple" tasks feel so overwhelming. When executive functioning challenges collide with the pressures of work, family, and society, it’s easy to feel defeated. I believe that you are not the problem; the tools you’ve been given simply might not fit the way your mind works. As a Social Worker, I look at your life as a whole—including your home, your work, and your community.

I enjoy working to help clients reduce their symptoms, help with adult working clients gain a work life balance managing stressors of home and work, helping those to adjust to life changes in adulthood such as death, divorce and empty nesting, as well as working with older adults to help them manage health issues and find meaning in their lives.
Therapy is a time for you! Be heard, express your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment, and gain insight and understanding. I work to help clients achieve these things as well as their individual goals for treatment.

I am a Registered Art Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I believe in meeting each client where they are at, and using the most effective treatment modality in order to help clients achieve their personal goals for treatment.

When a problem feels overwhelming, insurmountable, and unsolvable, it likely is not any of these. The problem may just need to be approached from a different angle. It can be harder to problem solve as efficiently or creatively under while under stress. It can also be harder to solve problems or get unstuck after falling into a pattern of thinking negatively due to past trauma or other reasons.
In both my creative and my talk therapy interventions I use strengths-based interventions (solution-focused) to uncover what is going well for you (or what will eventually be going well for you). I also integrate principles of CBT.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
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, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other 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. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but 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.
How can 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.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
