My style is relationship-based and person-centered. I believe that healing occurs in the context of a safe, authentic connection, so our work together is less about “fixing” and more about understanding, exploration, and growth. I bring curiosity and compassion into every session while also being willing to challenge patterns that may no longer serve you.

Clinically, I am interested in working with a majority of populations. I would primarily prefer to focus on helping people struggling with suicide, anxiety, depression, life development issues (i.e. school/career/transitions) and self image. I did my internship as a DBT Intern so I am familiar and comfortable teaching DBT skills as well with my clients. I am open and grateful to learn about even more clinical options to help the people I get to interact with.

I provide therapy for youth ages 12 and up, adults, couples, and families. Growing up around farming, I learned the value of community, resilience, and lending a hand when it’s needed most. I carry that same appreciation for connection into my work, utilizing intersectional, strengths-based, and collaborative approaches. I appreciate the challenges that come with change and loss, whether everyday or life-altering, and working with long-term and short-term mental health conditions.

Immediate summer openings! Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—individually or in your relationships? Perhaps you’ve tried therapy before but felt it didn’t go deep enough, and you’re longing for real healing, renewed hope, and lasting change. You want more than surface-level support; you’re looking for someone who will help you get to the root of your struggles and empower you to move forward with clarity, purpose, and connection.

I work with adults whose struggles are long-standing rather than recent - people for whom the same painful patterns keep recurring across relationships, work, and earlier attempts at therapy. Often that means a personality disorder, chronic or treatment-resistant depression, or emotional pain entangled with substance use. Many of the people I see have been in treatment before, sometimes for years, and arrive wondering whether real change is possible. If you feel your concerns are too complicated or pervasive to address, or you've cycled through therapy without lasting improvement, then I'd love to work with you.

Everyone deserves quality mental health care. Mental health IS health. Whether you are seeking support to get out of a stuck place, to process the past, or work through a tough life transition, I am honored to walk alongside you on your path of healing and growth. After a long first career as an artist, I came to realize I wasn’t satisfied with my contribution to the world. I returned to school for a master’s in social work so that my sense of purpose and meaning can better align with my life’s work. Having made this mid-life shift, I know that change is possible.

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.
