As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I recognize the importance of prioritizing mental health as a key component to everyone's overall happiness. The process of establishing a supportive environment and fostering meaningful relationships can be challenging. With five years of experience in the clinical field, I have developed a focus on working with individuals and families who live with someone or who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, gender identity, and complex PTSD.

I work with clients using a person-centered, solution-focused approach, often incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy to help reframe negative thinking patterns.

I also use motivational interviewing and integrate mindfulness techniques when appropriate. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in moving forward with clarity and intention.

Maybe you are experiencing loss, loneliness, or anxiety, or you don't feel like 'yourself' anymore. I believe that empowerment and healing can come through self-connection, use of more adaptive tools and learning how to approach this sometimes overwhelming world in a way that feels more manageable. I show up for you authentically and drawing from my over twenty years of working with individuals of all ages. During our time together, I hope to provide a space for you to revive your joy, feel whole versus disjointed, and seek to create a balance between challenge and kindness for yourself.

Many people who strive for excellence carry an invisible weight — the pressure to succeed, to keep going, to hold everything together. Over time, that pressure can lead to anxiety, burnout, and disconnection from yourself. I work with high-achieving individuals and mothers who are looking not only for relief from stress, but for a deeper sense of balance and alignment in their lives. My approach is holistic and client-centered, integrating evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, self-compassion, and a focus on the mind-body connection.

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.
