I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journey towards healing. My therapy approach is highly collaborative. I value the therapeutic relationship more than any technique or theory itself. Initiating counseling is often a big and difficult step and I do my best to help you feel relaxed, comfortable and welcome. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing loss and grief. Many presenting issues come down to a loss- loss of a loved one, loss of a pregnancy, loss of hopes/dreams, loss of a marriage...and working through loss requires time, connection and a safe place.

A flower, whether bud or bloom, is always complete while still unfolding.
In the same way, an unbroken wholeness lives at the core of your body and being, waiting to be felt.
As a somatic psychotherapist and Realization Process meditation teacher, I guide individuals and partners toward that wholeness with precise yet compassionate practices. We slow down, sense a quiet, inner core, and rest there. From this inner axis, stored tension softens, pain is digested, and an authentic self—steady, warm, unmistakably yours—comes forward.
Rather than stepping around difficult emotions or conflicts, we meet them directly.

I am a sliding scale therapist whose practice is focused on decreasing stress to help my clients develop a clearer idea of who they are, what they feel, and what they need. Clients who seek my care are often looking for ways to feel more confident and less fearful of the future so they can live in the moment, instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Feeling the need to achieve at all costs, focusing only on “what’s next”, and feeling a constant need to stay busy are all experiences I help adults learn to recognize, reframe, and conquer.

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.

Welcome, I’m so glad you are considering reaching out for support. These are hard times, and learning to befriend, rather than avoid or deny, the vulnerability and complexity of being human is a revolutionary act. Effectively meeting this moment requires skillful and consistent access to our inner knowing and resilience. That’s where I come in: I help change-makers, cycle-breakers and creatives navigate the lingering imprints of trauma, both personal and cultural, on their relationships and sense of self so that you can move beyond the trance of unworthiness and welcome more of who you are with compassion and curiosity.

I work with motivated, insightful adults who want to better understand how their past has impacted them, and how to move out of surviving and into thriving. This can range from thriving in their career, relationships, or physical health; to healing burnout, processing trauma, and building skills to better handle life transitions. I enjoy working with clients wanting to discover their identity outside of perfectionism, people-pleasing, hopelessness, and overthinking. These are coping strategies but are not the core of who you are as a person.

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.
