As Bette Davis once said, "Old age is not for sissies!" We all know that growing older can bring about unexpected transitions and changes - in our bodies, in our relationships, and in our abilities. But aging can also foster new growth. I specialize in working with older adults as they navigate aging and its many surprises, which can include anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic illness. I also support those who have older adults in their circle of care, and who may be overwhelmed with caregiver stress and burnout.

I have over 20 years experience working with senior adults and their caregivers in a variety of settings, including healthcare, non-profit organizations, and residential communities.

I believe that a therapeutic relationship is built on trust and confidence. I offer a free, 15-minute consultation to determine if your needs match my expertise.
