People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, worn down, or unsure how they’re supposed to keep going. Several years ago, my own family faced profound loss and upheaval that required us to rebuild our lives from the ground up. That season reshaped how I practice therapy. I understand, both professionally and personally, what it means to survive something that changes you—and how to slowly find your footing again. This perspective allows me to walk with clients who feel wounded, disoriented, or exhausted by the effort of carrying so much for so long.

Many of the people I work with have tried everything: medical treatment, PT, medications, and still deal with chronic pain, fatigue, or other persistent symptoms. If that’s you, you’re not alone, and your symptoms are real. In many cases, ongoing symptoms are driven by patterns in the brain and nervous system rather than ongoing injury or illness. My work focuses on helping your system shift out of those patterns so symptoms can begin to change. This doesn’t mean your symptoms are “in your head,” it means your body has learned something it can also unlearn.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of trying to handle everything alone. Together, we look at what may be keeping you stuck and work on healthier ways to restore, relate to others, and feel more like yourself. My goal is to help adults who are struggling with trauma, depression, substance abuse, mood changes, relationship stress, OCD, or who are feeling stuck in the same patterns.

See More Therapists 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.
