I work exclusively with high-achievers in emotionally demanding careers — those who have architected lives they don't quite feel at home in. You're intelligent, capable, emotionally attuned, and deeply responsible. You've spent years becoming someone others can trust, and somewhere along the way, your work became your worth: proof you were safe, valuable, successful, needed, good. Despite everything you've built, you feel emotionally overextended in ways you can barely explain. With clinical experience specializing in addictions and military trauma, I help people like you understand why this happens, and what to do

You learned early on to read the room… to focus on others’ needs while your needs went unspoken. There wasn’t space for your emotions, so you kept them in. You told yourself you were fine. But that doesn't mean it didn’t hurt.
Now, you are tired. You make yourself smaller so you can be loved. You stay quiet to keep the peace. You give, hoping they’ll meet you there. And slowly, without realizing it… you lose yourself.
You’re not just avoiding conflict. You’re avoiding yourself.

Change is stressful, even when it comes with joy or success, or when you’ve worked toward it for a long time. It’s natural to have lots of emotions or even doubts arise in times of transition. Promotions, new relationships, moves, the death of a friend or loved one or beloved pet, relationships ending, moving into a new stage of life - change always involves elements of the unknown. For over 20 years I’ve been helping people navigate life transitions. I meet each client where they are, to help them grow and develop in ways that help them through challenging times.

My work tends to attract clients who are ready to outgrow old patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion that no longer serve them. The clients I work with have been through pain - like myself - and need someone to help them fully heal, forgive, and pull the greatness from their pain. Such pain may present as depression, anxiety, relational issues, professional stress, lack of fulfillment, anger, etc. Whatever the symptom, we will trace the fruit back to its roots, plant new seeds, starve the old, and grow the new. I LOVE my work and was born to do it. I look forward to laughing, crying, striving, growing, and learning together.

Are you isolating from others, judging yourself, putting others’ needs before your own, or feeling a lack of purpose/hope for the future? Are you keeping yourself busy so you don’t have to think about the state of your life? Or doing the opposite – can’t getting out of bed because your life is not what you imagined? Do you feel stuck or stagnant? I work with adults who crave healing & growth from the things holding them back, who feel constrained by the expectations they hold of themselves, but also those from others. If you feel like a spinning top, with no idea which way is up or how to move forward, you’re in the right place.

Anxiety doesn't always look like panic. Depression doesn't mean not being able to function. Sometimes it's the background noise that won't quiet down, the patterns that keep repeating, or the sense that something needs to change but you can't quite get there. I work with people who are ready to figure out what's actually going on — and do something about it.
I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems to understand your unique experience and support your journey toward mental and emotional health.

I'm a clinical psychologist. I have been licensed since 2011. I specialize in evidence-based treatment for anxiety, OCD and related disorders, insomnia, health-related concerns, transitions, and complicated life things. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We rely on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for those with OCD. Therapy itself should feel human, collaborative, and individualized. The goal isn't perfect emotional control and elimination of every anxious thought. It's to experience anxiety, uncertainty, and difficult thoughts while living meaningfully.

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.
