Life can be complicated, and sometimes the things we struggle with aren’t easy to untangle on our own. Mental and emotional challenges come from a mix of life experiences, environment, genetics, and our own readiness or ability to make changes. Counseling gives us a place to slow down, make sense of those things, and better understand why we feel or react the way we do. Through that process, people often develop greater self-awareness and experience real emotional and mental growth.

It was through this part of my journey that I realized my true strength and passion was helping clients, not as a legal advocate but rather as a mental health professional and guide.

I spend my days creating space for topics that feel risky and at times foreign but create immense reward. We are all imperfect humans who make mistakes, care too much, and blame ourselves far too often. Learning about yourself is the greatest gift to enhance how you experience life.
We can't 'get rid of' of depression, anxiety, grief or regret. But we can work with these heavier experiences and learn how to carry them differently. I like to incorporate somatics, role playing, writing, and other experiential forms of therapy into practice. We can't be 'happy' all the time, but we can learn to be fully alive in the present.

If you’ve experienced trauma, you might be asking "why do I still feel this way, even though it's over?" You’ve done your best to move forward, but certain memories, triggers, or emotions still hold you back. Maybe you’re functioning well on the outside, but inside, you carry the weight of fear, pain, or shame. You want to feel safe in your own body again. EMDR helps the brain fully process and integrate traumatic memories, so the past is in the past - making room for genuine relief, safety, and healing. If you're ready to find peace in the present, you're in the right place.

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.
