Welcome! You often feel guilty for saying no, worry about disappointing others, and overthink even small interactions. You put others first so much that you lose sight of your own needs, yet still fear being seen as selfish. Conflict feels terrifying, so you avoid it—even when it hurts.

Deep down, you may believe your worth depends on being helpful, agreeable, or easy to love. I work with people to figure out how to develop healthier relationships, live more authentically, cultivate self compassion, and connect to themselves.

In my 60+ years I have personally experienced a lot of things that my clients share with me. I am able to empathize or and the very least identify with my clients needs. My approach is Person/Client Centered; Person-centered therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the client’s experience without moving the conversation in another direction. The therapist is there to encourage and support the client.

You feel off track of where you want to be in this phase of life, navigating difficult transitions. You are mentally, emotionally, physically overwhelmed by the adjustments being made at rapid pace.

Are you a high-achieving individual who works hard to mask your tender emotions and meet expectations, all the while holding a deep loneliness inside? Do you wonder if you are the problem, because on-paper everything looks, "great," in your life but you feel frequently overwhelmed or dissatisfied? As a queer, neurodivergent, trauma-survivor, I bring the wisdom of my lived experiences to bear in our clinical work together. I have learned in my own journey that avoidance of our deepest pain inevitably leads to disconnection; leaning into the invitation of our hearts leads to connection, and thus, healing.

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.
