Most of us live busy and complicated lives. We may feel overwhelmed and exhausted. I truly believe that each of us has the potential to live highly satisfying and healthy lives but this requires that we explore who we are at heart, and what we need from and can contribute to life. Together, in therapy, we can work on making changes and identifying how best to move forward. I work with depression, anxiety, trauma as well as other challenges to mental health. I am particularly interested in spirituality as a resource as well as helping you identify strengths you already possess that can be used to help you solve life's problems.

The trauma one is handed often is no fault of our own; healing from it becomes part of our journey. My goal is to incorporate creativity, acknowledge and encourage the unique perspectives of my clients, and meet them where they are in life.

Living with depression is like living with thick fog that rolls into your life and affects everything meaningful in its path. It changes everything about you … how you think, feel and function in daily activities. It may have even started interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and enjoy life. The people close to you probably have noticed, but they don’t know how to help you, and you don’t know how to help yourself. Trying to get through the day is overwhelming and seems like an impossible task. Seeking help from a therapist can seem scary because you want to make sure you choose someone who you truly connect with.

You may have been told, "That happened a long time ago. You should be over it by now." But your mind and body don't always work that way.
If painful childhood experiences still affect your relationships, confidence, emotions, or the way you respond to stress, you're not alone. Many people find themselves reacting to situations in ways that don't make sense. Maybe you become overwhelmed by criticism, struggle to trust others, constantly feel on edge, or find yourself replaying memories you wish you could forget. Even though you know those experiences are in the past, they still feel very present.

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.
