Many people struggle to form and maintain healthy friendships and romantic relationships as adults or older adults, and are not sure how they can change their patterns.
I enjoy working with adults and older adults who are actively seeking healthier attachments and improvement in their relationships. My clients want to understand their early relationships and experiences in order to heal and move toward healthy attachments and interactions. These deeper changes can take more time and are longer lasting. I love working to help those who are looking for improved relationships, improved mood, and better quality of life.

I am aware of the cultural factors that impact how we move and navigate through the world, which is why I humbly seek to provide culturally competent services.
While I work with a variety of individuals and age groups, one specialization is working with older adults (65+) who are experiencing depression, anxiety and cognitive changes.
WHAT WILL THERAPY BE LIKE? I strive to create an environment that is confidential and nonjudgmental. The therapy hour is a time and place where you can feel safe enough to do important work. I also believe that therapy can be enjoyable and life-affirming, even at times a FUN experience. WHAT CAN THERAPY ACCOMPLISH FOR ME? Engaging in psychotherapy provides the opportunity for a new start, an escape from ruminating, from feelings of helplessness and indecision. I will work with you to see and experience your situation in a new way - and take action to make important changes.

My specialty is working with all types of relationships that are stressed. I believe in exploring what I call "clashing vulnerabilities." We all have triggers, and when they are present, there really is no one listening. We all need to be heard. I also work with grief and with aging.

Life sometimes presents us with difficult moments. We can experience these as painful pauses or become clouded and lose our ability to feel hopeful. Our greatest challenge is to remember that such moments are also openings - invitations to grow and deepen the intimacy we have with our inner life. Too often we strive to understand or figure things out on our own, yet an "other" is required if we are to be truly and deeply listened to. To be known, witnessed, and helped to see what we cannot see on our own - this is the work, our work.

My approach to therapy has evolved over more than 25 years of practice as a psychologist/psychotherapist working with a wide variety of people and issues. Many people respond well to and benefit from my interactive, solutions-oriented methods. I believe that exploring the past is sometimes important but that working in the present with a clear eye to the future is often even more helpful.

Geriatric and Seniors Therapists
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, dementia, and physical mobility challenges.
How can geriatric 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.
How is counseling for elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
Many aspects of geriatric counseling are similar to counseling in younger 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. However, therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients 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.
Can geriatric counseling help people who suffer from dementia?
Counseling can be highly effective for aging adults with dementia. While some therapists specializing in dementia may work with clients solely on topics surrounding memory loss, they can also assist clients with conditions that may co-occur at old age, such as anxiety or depression. Counselors specializing in working with older adults can also offer an objective assessment of a client’s functioning or disease progression to caregivers, and they may be particularly knowledgeable about community resources that may benefit dementia clients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia may also be trained in specialized forms of therapy for memory-loss|memory loss, such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)—which can help mentally stimulate dementia clients to preserve cognitive functioning.
