My Approach
After many years working in the corporate world, I realized I needed a more meaningful career, so I returned to school to pursue a different path. I am an experienced therapist specializing in treating seniors, adults and those with a variety of challenges. I absolutely love what I do! Over the years, my clients have described me as approachable and easy to connect with. In essence, I help them find solutions to their problems. Because my approach is holistic, I offer other services that enhance the lives of this very special population. In addition to meeting with people in my office, I offer clients the option of visits at their own living environment.
Are you struggling with?
- Juggling care for elderly parents, spouses, and children?
- Leading a balanced life style and finding time to do the things one enjoys?
- Coping with feelings of anger, frustration and guilt, which often accompany caring for an elderly parent or family member?
- Filling time meaningfully, and coping with mixed feelings about leaving the workforce after temporary leave or retirement?
Are you an older adult dealing with?
- Understanding and accepting the aging process?
- Normalizing the daily hassles which can trigger anxiety and powerlessness?
- Grieving the loss of your partner through death or cognitive decline?
- Pressure to downsize and move to a different living situation?
- Adjusting to living alone?
My assessment will identify factors causing problems, and together we create a plan for remediation. My approach is efficient and comprehensive and guides you to identify goals to fit your specific situation.
