If you have been carrying too much for too long, you are not alone. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences and unprocessed grief. Therapy with me is gentle, collaborative, and anchored in a deep respect for the nervous system and the story it holds.
I come from a military/ first responder family and understand how trauma can live in the body and relationships. This has shaped my commitment to creating a space where you do not have to be the strong one and where healing unfolds with care and intention.
I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I provide private, cash-pay therapy for teens, adults, and professionals experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, PTSD, or the effects of prolonged stress and overwhelming life experiences.

Hello, It takes courage to speak with a therapist, so I commend you for taking this first step to look for help. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive, genuine and warm space for you to seek and get the help that you need in therapy. I am trained in cognitive and behavioral therapy, but I take an eclectic approach to helping my patients. What this means is that I believe there is not a "one size fits all" way to provide therapy. A skilled therapist should adapt the therapy they provide to each client's individual needs.

Hey there! I help teens through adults make sense of the mess — the emotional kind, not the bedroom floor (though I won’t judge that either).
I specialize in eating disorders and body image: guilt around food, mirror battles, and the mental gymnastics of “what can I eat today?” It’s never just about food.
I also work with OCD, phobias, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and those mid-existential “what am I doing with my life?” spirals. Therapy with me is honest, human, and sometimes even funny — because healing doesn’t have to be boring.

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.
