There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I seek to help you on your unique path of self-empowerment and healing by addressing: current symptoms, the thought/emotional systems that may influence these symptoms, and the reactions to these systems that can act as barriers to challenging them in order to create broad and lasting growth. It is also important to incorporate your living situation and its impact on your well-being; stress and sadness as we address your challenges. While I work with all populations, my focus has been on providing sex-positive and kink-informed services to the LGBTQ+ population.

Having a confidential place to explore what is causing imbalance or stress in one's life is the starting place. Exploring one's emotional and psychological process will open the path to freeing inner turmoil, indecision and personal struggle, while also finding solutions for better communication within relationships and navigating one's life path and career. Psychotherapy enables you to break free of repetitive patterns that prevent happiness. Finding one's identity and purpose in life is an ongoing question even after one is 50 years old. It is okay to question, review and reinvent without having to stop the ship.

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.
