Beginning therapy is an act of courage. It’s okay if it feels overwhelming as most brave things do. My role is to create a space where you can exhale, and be met with deep empathy and zero judgment. This is a place where your story matters, your struggles are honored, and your healing journey is held with care and respect.

You've probably tried pushing through on your own. Maybe it's worked — until it didn't. If you're at the point where you're ready to stop white-knuckling it and start making real changes, you've come to the right place. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in real tools - not just conversation. My best-fit clients are motivated people who want to be challenged with care. They're not looking for someone to just nod along. They want honest feedback, a clear direction, and a therapist who believes they're capable of real growth. If that sounds like you, we're probably a good match.

We all have parts of ourselves we keep hidden from others: fears, insecurities, grief, anger, unmet needs, or even strengths we learned to downplay. Often, we hide these parts of ourselves to avoid rejection, maintain control, or adapt to the expectations around us. But in doing so, we may never feel fully seen or truly known by others. Our protective patterns can shape the way we show up in relationships and block the closeness, safety, and connection we deeply desire. I help women and men better understand their patterns in relationships and develop healthier, more secure connections with themselves and others.

Life feels like a constant juggling act. Between work, family, and caring for loved ones, the weight of responsibilities has left you drained and disconnected from yourself. On top of the exhaustion, that inner critic will not let up, reminding you of every shortcoming and insisting you are not doing enough.

You are ready to find balance, set boundaries, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong and whole.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialize in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.
Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.
What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialize in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialized modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.
Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specializing in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
