If you simply cannot switch your brain off to fall asleep, you are absolutely not alone! Insomnia and poor sleep can quickly spiral into a frustrating cycle of exhaustion and worry that affects every part of life. Many of my clients have spent years caring for others or keeping busy, only to find that when things finally quiet down, their minds refuse to do the same. They want to rest easily, wake up feeling alert and steady, and get back to enjoying their routines and the moments that matter most. Good sleep shouldn’t feel out of reach. Together, I’ll help you find it again.

Do you struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, or unresolved past experiences that continue to shape how you see yourself and others? On the outside, you are functioning — working, caregiving, achieving. On the inside, you may feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand; overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or difficulty setting boundaries.

I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and have been in practice since 1986. My style is interactive, but varies depending on the needs and personality of the client(s). I see the therapy process as a team effort with ongoing review of client satisfaction. When appropriate I consult other professionals and/or make referrals. I believe that peoples' feelings and behaviors are effected by their interpretations of events, and sometimes encourage clients to explore their interpretations. I try to work within their spiritual and cultural belief system, and seek information when my knowledge is limited.

It provides a safe place for people to process and work through circumstances while also offering valuable insight and perspective into whatever journey they may find themselves on. I feel humbled and a sense of gratitude that you would allow me to be a part of this very personal journey that you have chosen to go on. My philosophy is to welcome & embrace you regardless of where you are at in the journey and walk beside you as you see it to it's end.

People think you have it all - the education, the career, the carefully curated appearance. But secretly, on the inside, you're exhausted from the constant effort of trying to hold yourself together — and still feeling like you're falling apart. You're haunted by obsessive thoughts, shame-charged memories, and a harsh inner critic who says you must be absolutely perfect no matter the cost. You keep your feelings and needs to yourself, convinced that they would expose the truth about you or burden your loved ones. You're not even sure who the real you is anymore, or if you ever really knew them.

The therapeutic relationship is Key to the healing and growth in clients' lives. I have an approach to therapy that Honors it. With it, I support clients in feeling safe and secure during sessions. Clients must feel physically, emotionally, and psychologically safe to explore vulnerable experiences, process and work through trauma, and discover new aspects of themselves. The therapy comes alive as clients safely practice self regulation, explore their deepest experiences, heal past wounds, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling experience of being alive.

People think you have it all together — an education, a career, a carefully curated appearance. But on the inside, you feel stuck — caught in cycles of intrusive & obsessive thoughts, disordered eating, or the pressure to be absolutely perfect. You're exhausted from the constant effort of trying to hold yourself together — and still feeling like you're falling apart. Your own feelings and needs feel like too much, and you believe that expressing them would expose you or burden your loved ones. Maybe you've spent a lifetime learning that love had conditions — and somewhere along the way you lost yourself trying to meet them.

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.
