Many clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected after spending so much time focused on everyone else’s needs. With years of experience supporting older adults and families in healthcare settings, I understand the emotional complexity of caregiving and provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help clients feel more grounded and supported. I work with adults caring for aging parents or supporting loved ones through illness, decline, grief, and major life changes.

I help clients better understand emotional patterns, manage stress and overwhelm, and build healthier ways of coping during difficult life transitions. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each person’s needs. Therapy with me focuses on creating practical change while also making space to process grief, burnout, guilt, anxiety, and the emotional weight that can come with caregiving responsibilities.

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s been bringing stress or emotional strain into your life and what support would feel most helpful right now. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, relationships, and current challenges while creating a calm, supportive environment where you can speak openly without judgment. The first session is about helping you feel heard and beginning to identify a path forward together.
