I work with teens, adults, couples and older adults.
Are you looking for someone to see you through a difficult time? Look no further. One reaches a point in life when they need to talk to a professional. You are not alone. It is completely understandable to have a need to reach out to a professional when life circumstances get difficult. You may be looking for someone you can to talk to or who listens to you and who can be objective. I am trained to listen, empathize, and construct goals for overcoming your difficulties. I provide a relaxed and comfortable setting and pride myself on helping people overcome.

Welcome and thank you for reviewing my platform. My focus in providing therapy is to serve as the catalyst breeching the gap for folks to reach their goals and improve their life. Determining goals in therapy is truly a collaborative process. When you begin therapy, we will take time to not only discuss the issues or difficulties you are experiencing, but also discuss the ways in which you would like life to look different. This is asking, what does feeling better look like to you? I often help with the answer to the question as it may be difficult for folks to see forward to what type of change is possible during therapy.

Life can sometimes throw us emotional curveballs that are unexpected and difficult to handle. Whether it's sudden changes, losses, or challenges we didn’t see coming, these moments can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or even lost. Trying to process these negative emotions on our own can be debilitating. Sometimes we need extra support to navigate these emotional curveballs and make sense of our feelings and thoughts.

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.
