The world feels heavy right now. Even on a good day, life can feel overwhelming, complicated, or exhausting. It’s okay to need help making sense of it and finding your footing. If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what’s coming up, and feel more grounded. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change through insight, action, and self-compassion. My approach is direct, validating, and laid-back

My ideal client is someone who feels weighed down by anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of past trauma. They may be struggling with relationships, feeling stuck in old patterns, or overwhelmed by stress and self-doubt. What they want most is relief, clarity, and a sense of control over their life again. Their goals often include learning healthier ways to cope with strong emotions, building confidence, and creating more meaningful connections with others. Deep down, they want to move forward — not just to “get by,” but to feel truly alive, present, and hopeful about their future.

Summer often brings longer days, shifting routines, and opportunities for reflection. Yet anxiety, depression, or past traumatic experiences can make it difficult to fully enjoy the season or feel hopeful about what's ahead. You may find yourself seeking greater clarity, balance, and a renewed sense of purpose. If you're feeling stuck or uncertain, you're not alone. Summer can be a meaningful time to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and take intentional steps toward healing, growth, and lasting well-being.

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.
