Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and bring up fears we don’t always understand. Navigating life between cultures, family, and identity can create emotions that are hard to explain.
I offer a safe, inclusive, and gender-affirming space where you can explore, heal, and grow. My work focuses on healing generational trauma—including the kind you may not even realize exists—while helping you understand family and cultural dynamics and strengthen your relationships with yourself and others.

The challenges you're currently experiencing do not define who you are as an individual. Life is challenging on our best days and sometimes these challenging days turn into weeks, maybe months, if not longer. If there are challenges that are keeping you from moving forward in life or enjoying anything in general, I would like to meet with you. Together we will work on the challenge(s) that are preventing you from experiencing more enjoyment in life.

Do you find yourself holding everything together for everyone else, no matter how drained you feel inside? Complex trauma leaves us feeling responsible for peace we didn’t break—strong on the outside, yet quietly anxious or disconnected within. You want to feel grounded in who you are—spiritually, culturally, and emotionally—but deep down you’re tired of surviving. You’re not broken; you’re just ready to feel whole again.

Hello! Prior to becoming a therapist, I served in the Army National Guard and worked in inpatient healthcare settings supporting individuals facing complex medical conditions, serious mental illness, and end-of-life concerns. These experiences, combined with my education and personal journey, deepened my understanding of human suffering, resilience, and the profound capacity for healing and transformation. Whether you're working through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a desire for personal growth, I am committed to helping you move beyond survival mode and toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.

See More Therapists 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.
