Do you feel exhausted from carrying painful experiences on your own? Have thoughts of suicide left you feeling isolated and hopeless? Together, we'll get to the root of what's going on-not just manage the symptoms but understand what's driving them. I believe that no individual is the same and therapy should be personalized for the individual. You should feel supported while we build a plan that actually fits your life. I use approaches like CAMS to help work through suicidal thoughts. I employ EMDR to help process past experiences.

You can reclaim your voice after surviving relational trauma, and you've found someone who understands. You may feel an abundance of anxiety and guilt when you ask for what you need. You may avoid bringing anything up because you don't want to upset anyone. You might be walking on eggshells, or feel that nothing you do is ever good enough. You may struggle with boundaries or feel numb and disconnected. If your relationship with a parent, partner, co-worker or friend, has left you feeling hurt, lost and confused, it is not all your fault. The symptoms you feel are understandable, and you can feel whole again.

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.
