I work with children, adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. Many clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. My approach is highly relational and strengths-based, while also grounded in evidence-based practices and a trauma-informed lens.
I aim to create a space where each client feels seen, heard, and understood. I meet clients where they are with a compassionate, grounding presence, building a foundation of felt safety from which we can explore areas of feeling stuck, develop tools for resilience, and foster meaningful growth and connection.

You keep looking at your life, wondering: “How did I end up here?”
Exhausted doesn’t even begin to describe how you’re feeling, does it?
You’ve spent so much time trying to hold everything together that you barely recognize yourself anymore. My clients are people who feel emotionally exhausted from walking on eggshells, managing chaos, and/or trying to “save” someone they love. They often feel trapped between love, guilt, fear, anger, and responsibility—especially when addiction, relapse, betrayal, or toxic relationship dynamics are involved.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and disconnected? Do you find yourself constantly distracted from what you feel? You are not alone in feeling that! Trauma expert, Dr. Peter Levine describes trauma as "any experience that stuns us like a bolt out of blue; it overwhelms us, leaving us altered & disconnected." It can be trauma with a big "T" or with a small "t", but our bodies and brains respond similarly as it undermines our sense of safety and feeling of being in control. During our session time, we’ll focus on the power of incremental and gentle adjustments to increase your sense of safety and control within your body and environment.

There's a frustration that accomplishment doesn't quite fix. A longing that persists beneath the competence — despite the deadlines met, the right things done, the life that looks, by most measures, like it's working. Something was supposed to arrive with all of this. A fullness. A contentment. A sense of having finally landed. And still it hasn't. Not quite.
I work with accomplished adults who feel this — people doing well by most measures, who want more than symptom relief, more than coping strategies, more than slightly better.

My clients are adults experiencing grief or trauma related to death, relationship loss, illness, pet loss, job change, divorce, life transitions, or identity disruption. They often feel angry, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are now, and may not even realize that what they are experiencing is grief. The people who tend to benefit most from my practice are those who want more than just symptom management. They are looking for a therapist who can hold space for the complexity of grief, help them make sense of their experience, and guide them toward living a life that honors both their loss and their future.

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.
