Many people come to me with prior experiences of therapy that were not helpful. This happens for many reasons but sometimes it's as simple as it wasn't the right fit. A wise mentor explained that "all human growth and healing takes place in the context of relationship, from infancy on". Therapy is a relationship of growth, change, healing. Many people are driven to therapy because of suffering in current or past relationship. Often the most challenging and hurtful relationship we have is the one with one's self. The "right" therapist is one that makes moving through this vulnerable process possible and bearable.

Perhaps it feels like you’ve been waiting your whole life to be seen, heard, and accepted. Trying to navigate this just reinforces feeling dismissed, invisible, and misunderstood. You’re ready for this next phase of your life, but you ask yourself, “Do I have to compromise who I am to move forward and actually enjoy my life?” It’s scary facing the next chapter in a society with rigid stereotypical rules. Memories of feeling trapped in bad relationships and awful jobs just gnaw at you. We can uncover the spark in you together so that you can find the strength to finally demand the respect you deserve in all aspects of your life

It is my objective, as a clinical psychologist, to create a "safe place" where my clients can feel comfortable enough to risk exploring the issues that contribute to their pain and distress. Together we work to identify these "traumas", to see them in a new light and to discover more adaptive ways of dealing with the stresses that life hands us. I like to work collaboratively with my clients: I am not a silent observer. I believe that it is my job to facilitate personal growth and to help empower others to make the changes that work for them.

It can take time, effort and courage to call and arrive at a therapist's office. There is the apprehension of what this experience will be like, especially if it is your first time, or perhaps if you are trying again after a previous unsatisfactory experience. After you make the call, and once you begin, there is hope. And that alone is enough to sustain you while you work toward self-understanding and/or improved communication with your mate or children. The investment is worthwhile. The relief can be profound.

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.
