Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in 02215

Excellent psychotherapy offers a deep appreciation for an individual's thoughts, emotions and wishes. Within the framework of a safe and trusting therapy relationship, individuals can gain the understanding and skills needed to make changes toward a more fulfilling life. Regardless of what brings a person to therapy, good therapy facilitates an individual's inherent capacity for growth and resilience. In addition to teaching at the college level, I have worked as a clinical psychologist in college settings, private practice, and community health clinics.

Your plate is more than full. You’re struggling with managing it all at once. Whether college, work, family, a declining family member or your own medical illness, things are hard. Life can feel overwhelming. You’re exhausted. You put other’s needs in front of your own. You keep pushing these feelings down and telling yourself “it’ll be okay” because you can’t take on JUST. ONE. MORE. THING. You deserve the time to slow down and be heard. It's hard to make the time for therapy, but your inner voice will thank you.

I provide individual and couples therapy to adults across the lifespan. My goal for therapy is to create a collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you will be supported and also challenged to gain insight and develop different approaches to promote positive changes in your life. I draw from multiple theoretical approaches to meet your needs, including mindfulness-based CBT, psychodynamic, feminist-relational and narrative therapies. Areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and trauma. My approach is strength-based, and I view psychological symptoms and distress from an individual as well as systemic perspective.

I currently have an evening time slot open for a new client. I see therapy as guidance for healing, self-development, and an opportunity to feel understood. Through a collaborative, therapeutic approach, I utilize empathy, patience, and a sense of humor, to help clients through unexpected challenges and transitional life phases. I bring a combination of my clinical background and empathy through the use of a strengths based and person centered approach. I strive to provide individualized, compassionate psychotherapy in a safe, welcoming environment.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and work with children, adolescents and adults in individual therapy and with couples from diverse backgrounds. I work with clients coping with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, stress and relationships, trauma/post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, life transitions, anger management and chronic and acute health issues. I have confidence in the value of insight oriented / psychodynamic therapy. I integrate a humanistic, relational therapeutic approach with evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, solution focused and strength based therapy.

I specialize in working with adults going through life stage transitions, specifically older adults ages 65+ as well as Millennial/Gen Z young professionals. I help people with anxiety, stress, depression, career changes, chronic illness, low self-esteem, and loneliness. I work with people who have been in therapy before as well as people who are trying therapy for the first time- both are wonderful and both are welcome!
