Supporting older adults.
Aging gracefully is all the rage, right? So why doesn't your aging process feel graceful? Illness, chronic pain, financial woes, death of loved ones, and loss of independence are all real problems that many face as they grow older. As an older adult, you may be feeling lonely, isolated, worthless, and hopeless. You worry about your future. As the child of an older adult, you are looking in from the outside and worrying about Mom or Dad. They seem sad or anxious. Getting out to see a therapist is not so easy anymore.

I enjoy working with individuals who are deeply committed to personal growth and self-understanding. Those who come with a desire to explore the layers of their thoughts, emotions, and patterns—seeking clarity, authenticity, and greater emotional resilience. I also value working with individuals who are ready to engage in the meaningful and often challenging work of healing from trauma. There is strength in facing the past; turning inward to face and transform pain. Together, we co-create a space for restoration, integration, and a return to the truth of who you are.

Not all therapists are able to support you fully when medical or other conditions have caused cognitive decline. This is my specialty. Having worked closely with neurologists, radiologists and many other medical specialties, I can offer you neuropsyc or psych evaluations and brain maps that shed light on problems, and create a treatment plan that really makes a difference. We've helped folks with brain injury or general concerns for cognition, restore memory and attention skills, get to better thinking and reasoning, and enhanced joy in life. I go beyond the limits where others stopped, because rehabilitating brains is my passion.

Growing up as a child, with a parent being diagnosed with a mental health disorder, I experienced at first hand some of the problems that both individuals and family members are faced with. I watched as my parent was admitted over and over into mental health facilities. Not understanding why so many. I only knew that it was affecting my parent in a bad way as well as the family. This experience lead me into the field with the hope of lending a helping hand and a caring heart to help individuals like my parent obtain a sense of wellness.

If you are anxious, feel helpless, or overwhelmed, you are not alone. Despite what is happening in the world, we still have to go on, manage our relationships, do our work, and face our fears. Anxiety and depression make it hard to understand how to move forward when you may not have a clear sense of where forward is right now. I take a problem-solving approach, and while not every problem has a quick fix, once you see it for what it is, there is usually a way to quiet the noise and make it better. You have more power than you think.

Supporting others through difficult times and life transitions is something I am truly passionate about.

Geriatric and Seniors Therapists

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, dementia, and physical mobility challenges.

How can geriatric 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.

How is counseling for elderly different from counseling for other age groups?

Many aspects of geriatric counseling are similar to counseling in younger 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. However, therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients 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.

Can geriatric counseling help people who suffer from dementia?

Counseling can be highly effective for aging adults with dementia. While some therapists specializing in dementia may work with clients solely on topics surrounding memory loss, they can also assist clients with conditions that may co-occur at old age, such as anxiety or depression. Counselors specializing in working with older adults can also offer an objective assessment of a client’s functioning or disease progression to caregivers, and they may be particularly knowledgeable about community resources that may benefit dementia clients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia may also be trained in specialized forms of therapy for memory-loss|memory loss, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)—which can help mentally stimulate dementia clients to preserve cognitive functioning.
