Do you feel stuck and find yourself repeating the same patterns? You might be one who everyone depends on to help meet their needs but feel exhausted. Now you find yourself wondering who you are after taking care of everyone else. Between meeting the demands of your career, family and your own physical health, you might feel resentful, depleted and not sure where to begin to find some relief. Perhaps despite all that you have achieved, you still have a nagging feeling that you are simply not enough, that you must continue to prove yourself and burning yourself out in the meantime.

If I were a tattoo artist, you could come into my shop and flip through my portfolio to check out my style. I'd be a new-school mash-up artist, but one who also likes fine-line portraiture. Big custom work often has themes around memorials and body horror (because I do work with grief, trauma, and sexuality). I am not a tattoo artist, but maybe this metaphor gives you an idea of who I am and how I work. The work we do together is customized and I work well with people who want a collaborative process. Sometimes "the work" is painful, but it's beautiful in the end, and it is yours to carry with you.

We all deserve the opportunity to live healthy, fulfilling, authentic lives — and I’d be honored to help you create a path to that life.
I am particularly passionate about supporting folks dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and serious and/or chronic illnesses (including cancer), as well as those in the LGBTQIA+ community exploring their sexuality or gender identity. If you feel grief or anxiety over something that other people don’t quite “get” (like the loss of a pet or the state of the climate) I can provide an affirming, supportive environment to process and sit with those complicated feelings.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialize in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.
Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.
What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialize in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialized modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.
Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specializing in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
