I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental and inviting space to process and improve: relationships (familial, friendships, work or love), difficulty balancing obligations, challenges with stress or anxiety, self-esteem issues and/or depressive tendencies. I help people identify relational, thought and behavioral patterns that may have once been functional but are no longer helpful. My ideal client is looking for active therapy that has a practical application to help with immediate symptom relief while also changing lifelong patterns of behavior for longer term change.

Does this sound familiar? Jumpiness that won’t quit. Avoiding certain people or places without fully understanding why. Reactions—physical or emotional—that feel out of your control. These aren’t signs that you’re broken. They’re your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do after trauma or overwhelming stress. The good news? Your brain can be rewired—and it doesn’t have to be a long, painful process. I specialize in MEMI (Multichannel Eye Movement Integration)—a powerful, evidence-informed approach that’s often faster and easier on clients than traditional trauma therapies.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to support your child through big emotions or difficult behaviors. Perhaps you're an adult juggling anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, or past trauma that’s beginning to affect your relationships, work, or sense of self. You want relief — not just a quick fix, but real healing and clarity. You want to feel more connected, more in control, and more like yourself again. And if you're a parent, you want to see your child thrive — to help them process their experiences in a safe, healthy way.

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.
