I work especially well with clients of all ages experiencing issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and feelings of low self-worth.
I recognize that traumatic and adverse experiences throughout the life span continue to powerfully influence present day experience. They often are the root cause of negative beliefs about ourselves, how safe we feel in the world and how we are able to connect with others.
The goal is to replace outdated negative trauma-created self-beliefs with a genuine sense of positive self-worth and freedom from overwhelming symptoms.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and weighed down by life? Maybe you want something different from yourself, but you can’t seem to get it. Often times pain, fear, anxiety, heartbreak, or shame can cause us to reject parts of ourself. It can often feel like we are on "auto-pilot" moving through life with no real purpose or connection. However, I believe that growth can take place by re-discovering your true & authentic self! When we learn to give space to the parts that we have rejected, we start to connect with ourselves again and come in alignment. When we are aligned, we begin to live life more freely and fully. -Exhale :)

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who feel stuck in patterns that don’t change, even when they understand them. Many are thoughtful, self-aware people who sense something deeper is driving how they think, feel, and relate.
In sessions, we focus on how those patterns show up in real time, within yourself and in relationships. The work isn’t just insight. It’s something you can experience directly. Sessions are longer, the caseload is small, and the pace allows for depth and continuity, so change isn’t temporary. It becomes something that holds over time and carries into how you live and relate.

See More Seniors Therapists 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.
