About My Clients
You may not know exactly when it started, but at some point life began to feel heavier. Your social world is changing, recovery takes longer, and fatigue seems to arrive more easily. Maybe your parents now need more care, bringing aging and responsibility sharply into focus. You might feel overwhelmed by decisions, pressures, or shifting roles—and you’re looking for a space where you can sort through it all with honesty and compassion. I’m here to help you navigate these changes.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) and mental health researcher supporting mid- to late-life adults through transitions, caregiving stress, identity shifts, and relationship changes. I work with individuals, couples, and adult families to ease overwhelm, strengthen communication, and approach decisions with clarity and compassion. I use a pro-aging unifying framework that integrates evidence-based therapies and draws on my medical understanding of aging and public-health, systems-level perspective. This helps me consider the biological, relational, and social factors shaping your well-being. I tailor these insights into a warm, flexible, and collaborative approach. Together we clarify your concerns, identify your values, and develop a personalized plan that supports meaningful, sustainable change. Importantly, I provide psychotherapy services only. I am not licensed to practice medicine and do not provide medical diagnosis or medication.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe aging is a powerful, meaningful, and deeply human process—yet we live in a society that often devalues it. Many adults feel pushed aside, unseen, or left out of conversations that matter. My pro-aging stance means honoring the richness of growing older and making space for the questions that matter most: What do I want this chapter to look like? Who am I after loss or transition? How do I want intimacy, sexuality, or dating to feel now? What does retirement, caregiving, or long-term planning mean for my identity and relationships? My work centers the realities and complexities of mid- to late-life—identity changes, shifting roles, relationship transitions, grief, and caregiving. I believe these experiences deserve honesty, respect, and room for reflection. Together, we explore what feels meaningful, helping you reconnect with yourself, your relationships, and the future you want to create.
