I really enjoy the person who is ready for a change, who is all in, who likes to laugh even be silly at times. I like the person who is ready to move with me, breath with me, sit with me, I enjoy the person who is ready to be in an experience with me and be able to feel safe and secure when they share. I find it a privilege to be in that presence.

My ideal client will allow me to help him or her to grow and to heal. This requires the client believe in the possibility of trust, hope, and change. The ideal client is honest and willing to take some risk. Just coming to a counselor is a big risk!

Life is hard, no matter how you slice it. The birth process is traumatic for both mother and infant. Aging, sickness, and death are unavoidable parts of life. So are transitions, losses, and uncertainties. This is nobody's fault. It's not a punishment. This is "life on life's terms." None of us can manage the challenges of this life entirely on our own. We all need support, especially at times of loss and transition. If you, a family member, or loved one ages 14 and up are dealing with grief and loss, uncertainty, anxiety, depressive symptoms, processing trauma, or adapting to life changes, I'm here to help.

The strength of our relationships is not the absence of concerns and problems. The strength of our relationships is the ability to manage those concerns and problems successfully. Relationship concerns and problems may cause anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health issues. Unresolved issues affect churches, families, marriages, and workplaces. When we relate well with others, we thrive instead of just surviving. One person in a relationship can make a difference.

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.
