Although I work with adult clients of all ages, I specialize in older adults, specifically caregivers and Individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's disease.
Inevitably, we all experience some type of life transition at one time or another. Whether they are unexpected or by choice, life transitions can feel scary and sometimes isolating. I do not work with couples; however, my primary focus is on strengthening and building relationships. I love helping my clients get to a place in their life where they feel more confident and free, whether they want to focus on self-work, current relationships, or dealing with grief and loss of a person or a relationship.

These times are very hard on people, especially the older population and those who have been sheltered, due to the pandemic, without anyone.
I work with people who have Medicare insurance. My clients come to see me because they are in need to talk to someone about the changes in their lives, as they get older, as well as their feelings and needs around being isolated from the pandemic. As people age and reflect on their lives, some things can come up that need to be discussed or released and my practice offers a safe space to do so. Some people have a need for a therapist who can provide tele-health services over the phone or on a video chat and I offer these options to my clientele.

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in psychodynamic theory and weaves multiple therapeutic modalities & research, including trauma-informed interventions, somatic therapy, neuroscience, and attachment theory. My clients appreciate my relaxed, warmly inquisitive and direct style. I adhere to a nonpathologizing model, recognizing coping mechanisms as survival strategies. I believe that emotions are powerful messengers, pointing to authentic needs and feelings. I work with people who are interested in understanding how their strategies are perpetuating anxiety & self doubt, preventing them from experiencing peace and confidence.

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of CA. I have experience working with children, families, and older adults. Throughout the years, I have found my passion working with women and older adults. Whatever brings you on your search for a therapist, whether it be trauma or loss, you don't have to walk through it alone. The biggest influence on my therapy practice is my own experience in therapy. Going to therapy is hard work (not to mention expensive!) - but I saw measurable differences in myself. This is data I draw upon when I say that change is always possible.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

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.
