I like working with clients that can prioritize therapy and meet weekly. It provides more effective results. I am not offering couples counseling at this time except for private pay clients. I take many different forms of insurance including, but not limited to United Healthcare Optum, Aetna, and Kaiser Nor-Cal I find clients that utilize exercises and techniques in between sessions, yield best results. It’s rewarding to hear when people are feeling better, sleeping better, and having improved relationships which I find comes along more quickly when they make time for weekly therapy and practice in between sessions.

I work with clients who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, self-criticism, or the lasting impact of abuse. Some clients come to counseling because they feel stuck in unhealthy patterns, overwhelmed by life transitions, or are adjusting to chronic illness. I offer a safe, supportive space to process experiences, build coping skills, improve emotion regulation, restore self-confidence, and develop healthier relationships. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and lasting change so you can move forward with more confidence and balance.

I believe therapy is most effective when approached from a holistic perspective. As such, my background and training have been geared towards treating mind, body and soul. While I use a variety of clinical approaches, I view relationship as the most important therapeutic tool. To that end, my counseling philosophy incorporates elements of person-centered theory, as I view the traits of empathy, unconditional positive regard and non-judgment to be instrumental to the therapeutic relationship. I also embrace a cognitive behavioral framework as I believe strongly in the connection between thoughts, emotional experiences and behaviors.

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.
