Just like pulling a weed from the root prevents it from growing back, I believe that therapy is most effective when we get to the root of problems and address the core issues contributing to your symptoms. I am here to build your insight into issues, help you process how and where they started, and give you the tools to prevent your symptoms from coming back once they're gone.

Life is often difficult and challenging in the best of times. When you face anxiety, stress, depression, and feelings of inadequacy, the pain can be overwhelming. Life changes, relationship issues, family stress, and career challenges can activate deep feelings of confusion, failure, and being unlovable. If life has become too difficult to manage on your own, and you need assistance and support to sort things out, make necessary changes, and discover your innate talents and value, I can help. I have been working with people to face and grow from the pain in their lives for 44 years.

Through talk therapy, mainly, I hold hope for the elderly in finding a sense of a life well-lived.
At times we all struggle to find the words to express ourselves. At either end of the lifespan, both children and the elderly, can feel lost or invisible in their family or school systems. They may believe that they don’t have a voice or are not enough. I desire for my clients, of all ages, to feel seen, heard, and valued as they are encouraged to express themselves; verbally, visually, or both.

Offering a relaxed & calm space, I utilize a relationally-focused, humanistic approach in my work with adults, elderly, kids/teens, who struggle with mood disorders, divorce, grief, stage of life adjustments, and self-esteem.
Sometimes, life breaks your heart, and you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You’re suddenly feeling lost, frustrated, dissatisfied, and tired of feeling unnoticed or unappreciated. You try your best to not crumble by holding it together, but the pressure to be “strong” or “perfect” prevents you from living life authentically and peacefully. With so much falling on your shoulders lately, you’re probably needing time/space to deal with your stress and sort through the disappointments and loss to find a way back to yourself. You want to feel better, you’re ready to talk, and you’re eager to set yourself free from what ails you.

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.
