What I Can Help With – Therapy for Older Adults

As a therapist specializing in support for older adults and caregiver counseling, I help clients navigate the emotional, cognitive, and practical challenges that often arise with aging. My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where seniors and their families can find guidance, tools, and strategies to improve well-being and quality of life.

Emotional & Mental Health Support

I help older adults cope with:

  • Depression and anxiety associated with life transitions, health changes, or loss

  • Grief and bereavement from the death of loved ones or major life changes

  • Loneliness and social isolation by fostering connection and engagement

  • Low self-esteem and identity challenges during major life transitions

Navigating Life Transitions

Life changes can feel overwhelming. I support older adults through:

  • Retirement adjustment and finding renewed purpose

  • Health-related changes, including chronic illness or mobility challenges

  • Relocation or downsizing to retirement communities or smaller homes

  • Role changes, such as becoming a caregiver, grandparent, or adjusting to shifting family dynamics

Cognitive & Behavioral Support

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients:

  • Recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors

  • Reflect on life experiences through life review

  • Develop practical coping skills for stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions

Caregiver Support

Family caregivers often face stress, exhaustion, and emotional challenges. I provide guidance to help caregivers:

  • Manage caregiver burnout and stress

  • Navigate family relationships and communication

  • Build resilience and maintain personal well-being while caring for a loved one

Finding Meaning & Resilience

Together, we explore ways to:

  • Rediscover purpose and set meaningful goals

  • Embrace the aging process and build emotional resilience

  • Increase connection with family, community, and activities that bring joy
