Some people see me to explore childhood trauma. Some people come to me because their job or home life are really stressful. Some come because they’re worried about stuff all the time that they know they shouldn’t be worried about but they are anyway. Some come because their parents are getting older, and they are having to be more involved in their care and the transition to parenting your parent is challenging. Some people are not happy in their relationships, some aren’t happy with themselves and some just need someone to talk to. What all this means is, there is no wrong reason to see a therapist.. I'm here for you!

My goal is to help you discover your true potential and unique purpose while focusing on your wellbeing and personal growth. Negative thinking, behaviors and habits can prevent you from living and truly celebrating your life and enjoyment. Often self-limiting thinking styles and emotions can result from our past history or current situations. You can overcome these obstacles, develop the qualities, and skills needed to be the best version of you possible. Life hands us tremendous challenges. But our history doesn’t have to be our destiny! Tomorrow can be better and brighter.

Your eyes open, "another restless night." Your heart is pounding, anxious for another day. Feeling as if life is passing you by. It certainly has been a year like no other. The struggle is all around. So many losses. The loneliness blankets every inch of your being. Your career feels stagnant. You ask yourself, "why do I tolerate an unhealthy environment. There must be more." As your energy is depleted, the negative voice seems to get louder. Everything seems to be a trigger. Your perceptions from your past create your reality of today. They limit your happiness and success.

We all encounter obstacles and challenges along our journey in this adventure that is life. Sometimes, despite previous experiences and present resources, it becomes overwhelming. Seeking assistance can be difficult, but therapy can provide a completely objective space where YOU can be seen and heard, unencumbered by fear of judgement or of your vulnerability being used against you. Together we can modify your thought habits, behavioral patterns, and subconscious roadblocks that are currently preventing you from making that change you desire or moving towards living your best life.

I hope to be the guide in helping individuals become motivated to make change, learn new coping tools, and engage in healthier thought patterns and behaviors to live their best possible life. I work from a holistic approach, instead of focusing on a single problem, I believe it is important to view and consider the entire picture. An important part of healing and managing is remembering that it is okay to not be okay, and reaching out for help is the first step towards healing.

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.
