As human beings, we can endure the unimaginable if there is a “why” outside of our suffering. If not, we struggle, spiral, and get stuck. I help people find their “why”—what’s meaningful and sets their souls on fire. Through our work together, my clients feel empowered, know what they stand for, and feel more confident as they navigate their lives. I enjoy working with other mental health professionals, medical providers and first responders, busy professionals, do-it-all moms, and the self-identified misfits of the world.

Most of what makes life difficult traces back to something that can be understood — and that understanding changes things.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and relational patterns that feel stuck. We trace those struggles back to where they began: the early adaptations that once kept you safe, and now show up as anxiety, distance, or relationships that feel out of reach.
My approach is relational, unhurried, and deeply curious. No script. We follow what feels most present for you.

Something isn’t working. Maybe the distance grew over time, or maybe it hit all at once, but now, you’re more like roommates than partners. You keep having the same arguments. You feel shut down or alone. One of you might be leaning in, trying to fix things. The other is unsure if there’s anything left to fix.
You don’t have to figure it all out before starting therapy. We begin with what’s real, right now.

My goal as a counselor is to first set a foundation of trust and bond, in a less than formal environment. Next, becoming aware of clients' presenting issues and or challenges, then finding subjective tools that are client centered. Clients will quickly learn I'm here to support and encourage them. Through cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and empathy toward clients in their current situations, finding the right strategies for coping and overall success moving toward better outcomes. As a child and young adult, I have been through ADHD and later in life, bouts of trauma.

Are you feeling like life could be more fulfilling, but fear, worry, and sadness seem to be holding you back? You've been on a journey, trying to find peace and happiness independently, and you've carried the weight of your emotions in silence for far too long. You're an empathetic person, deeply connected to your relationships, but sometimes, the emotional toll can feel overwhelming. You've considered seeking professional help, but doubts have held you back. Will your therapist truly understand your unique experiences, your culture, your background, and your upbringing?

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.
