My ideal client is someone affected by the complex and often emotional journey of foster care or adoption-whether it is an individual, a couple, or a family unit. I also especially connect with clients who are open to exploring how early attachment wounds, trauma, and relationship dynamics shape their current experiences. I enjoy working with couples and families who are seeking a deeper understanding of one another, a stronger emotional connection, and tools to heal together. My clients are often courageous, even if uncertain, and willing to engage in the work of healing, growth, and rebuilding trust in the wake of pain.

Life doesn’t come with a manual — and even if it did, it probably wouldn’t explain how to stop overthinking at 2 a.m. or how to set boundaries with people who just don’t get it.
That’s where therapy comes in.

With over 7 years in the senior living and dementia care industry, I understand the need for caregivers to receive care themselves.
Being a caregiver is an act of profound love, but the stress, burnout, and grief that often accompany it can leave you feeling isolated and depleted. You've been conditioned to focus on your loved one’s needs, often pushing your own well-being aside until the weight becomes overwhelming.

Geriatric and Seniors Therapists
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, dementia, and physical mobility challenges.
How can geriatric 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.
How is counseling for elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
Many aspects of geriatric counseling are similar to counseling in younger 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. However, therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients 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.
Can geriatric counseling help people who suffer from dementia?
Counseling can be highly effective for aging adults with dementia. While some therapists specializing in dementia may work with clients solely on topics surrounding memory loss, they can also assist clients with conditions that may co-occur at old age, such as anxiety or depression. Counselors specializing in working with older adults can also offer an objective assessment of a client’s functioning or disease progression to caregivers, and they may be particularly knowledgeable about community resources that may benefit dementia clients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia may also be trained in specialized forms of therapy for memory-loss|memory loss, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)—which can help mentally stimulate dementia clients to preserve cognitive functioning.
