I work with adults 55 and older who are dealing with big life changes — illness, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply finding themselves in a chapter they didn’t plan for.
A lot of my clients come in because something has shifted. A diagnosis. A loss. The exhaustion of caring for someone else. Or that feeling of, “This isn’t the life I pictured.”
I’ve worked for many years alongside palliative care teams and with people living with serious illness. I understand how overwhelming medical decisions, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief can be.
I also know loss personally. My husband died after a battle with cancer, and rebuilding my own life changed how I sit with others. I don’t just understand this work professionally — I’ve lived parts of it.
Most of the people I see aren’t looking for years of therapy. They want a place to sort through what’s happening, get steadier, and figure out what comes next. We usually work together for a focused stretch — anywhere from a few sessions to a few months.
We meet by telehealth. It’s simple and private, and I’ll handle the logistics.
I have been a counselor for 40 years, working with individuals, couples, families and groups with psychological as well as addiction issues. I have extensive experience in inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I am eclectic in my evaluation and treatment methods, which gives me flexibility to treat individual needs. Primarily, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques. Many of my clients suffer with depression, anger, and anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder); all of which impact potential addictions. I also treat couples and families to better understand their dynamics and to improve their communication skills.
My background consists of psychological testing and understanding personalities. This has helped in my work with children, adolescents, & families. I enjoy working with gay and straight couples, to help them with empathy and communication. I do extensive cognitive work as well as teaching techniques with people suffering from anxiety, anger, and addictions.
I encourage self-awareness to stimulate one's potential. Understanding oneself is essential to reducing anxiety, depression & anger (and in improving relationships). I teach relaxation, meditation, & self-hypnosis techniques to improve personal balance. I guide couples and families to improve relationships through empathy, acceptance, and communication.
My goal in therapy is to assist you in an environment that is caring and safe. I utilize approaches and interventions based on your needs. These are tailored to the individual and takes into account your personal, family and environmental influences. I have worked with a diverse clientele and welcome those from American and non-American cultural backgrounds.
