We all deserve to discover and rediscover the happiest and healthiest version of ourselves in each life season. Entrusting someone to walk beside you can feel incredibly vulnerable. My aspiration is to create openness from one human to another where you feel seen and safe to show up authentically. You are the true expert on your life. I want you to leave each session feeling empowered as we process emotions, build awareness, and identify tangible action steps that align with your values. Together we can create a foundational “toolbox” of skills to anchor through difficult times, and include a dash or two of humor along the way.

Relationship struggles, family illness, career stress, and unexpected changes can leave you feeling overwhelmed—especially when anxiety, depression, or past trauma are also present. There’s no single “right” way to navigate these experiences, but you don’t have to face them alone. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, supported, and empowered as you move toward a more fulfilling life. Starting therapy often brings up mixed emotions, and finding the right fit matters.

You might be someone who feels like the past still has too much power over your present. Maybe you’ve been through something painful—big or small—that still lingers in how you see yourself, how you show up in relationships, or how you handle stress. You’re self-aware, maybe even insightful, but still find yourself stuck in patterns that don’t feel good anymore. And while you know something needs to shift, you’re not exactly sure how to begin.

I've worked in a variety of settings over the years: in schools, community mental health, in home therapy, pregnant and parenting youth programs, grief/hospice, inpatient/residential/outpatient eating disorder treatment and college counseling. In these settings I've been fortunate to work with clients at different stages of life and circumstance. I also consult with parents who are preparing to launch their young adult to college, as this can be a confusing, challenging and emotional time for all. Additionally, I'm certified in Prepare/Enrich, working with engaged and married couples in strengthening their relationship.

What exactly IS trauma? Trauma is any experience that the person deems negative and continues to live in the shadow of the event(s). If you feel trapped, like the trauma is following you, within you, or pops up at random, I can help. I love helping people to get "unstuck," so that they are no longer being controlled by their past traumas. I offer two life-changing therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). These therapies help clients transform themselves from symptomatic to symptom-free, giving people a sense of peace, safety and the freedom to truly live life.

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.
