Supporting Middle Aged and Older Adults Through Life’s Transitions…
Whether you're looking for a therapist for your aging parent or you're an older adult looking for therapy for yourself, you deserve support from someone who understands the unique challenges of aging. The aging process brings unexpected challenges, but also the opportunity for meaningful change.
Health concerns, cognitive changes, caregiving responsibilities, loneliness, depression, anxiety, and shifting relationships can leave you feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about the future. As roles change and losses become more frequent, many older adults find themselves feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.
At LifeSpan Counseling for Older Adults, I specialize in therapy for middle aged and older adults navigating the many changes that come with aging. Too often, older adults feel unheard or overlooked by family, healthcare providers, or even those closest to them. Here, you'll find a safe, supportive space where your story is listened to with compassion and respect. Together, we'll explore your experiences, build on the strengths that have carried you through life's challenges, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, so to help you move forward with renewed confidence, meaning, and hope.
Together, we’ll identify your strengths and clarify what's most important to you.
We’ll develop practical tools for you to cope with stress, manage emotions, and improve daily functioning. Whether you’re coping with cognitive changes, managing caregiver stress, adjusting to health changes, facing relationship shifts, downsizing, or searching for meaning in this stage of life, therapy can help you move forward with greater confidence and stability.
A central part of my approach is the use of storytelling and reflective listening.
By exploring your life experiences and personal story, we make sense of challenges, highlight resilience, and uncover new perspectives that support healing and growth. This process often helps clients reconnect with a deeper sense of identity, purpose, and direction.
My work is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I focus on helping you build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change, so you can experience improved emotional well-being and a greater sense of fulfillment in your everyday life.
You deserve support during this season of your life and a path forward that feels steady, meaningful, and your own.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or struggling with depression or anxiety, I invite you to reach out today for a free consultation. Together, we’ll explore your goals and begin creating a plan to help you face life’s challenges with greater ease, clarity, and hope.

Do you have an aging parent? We’re ready to answer your questions.
-
I specialize exclusively in working with middle age and older adults. I understand the unique emotional and practical challenges that come with aging, including chronic illness, caregiving, retirement, memory changes, grief, and changes in identity and independence. My goal is to provide a place where older adults feel genuinely listened to, respected, and understood.
-
Yes. Adult children often contact me because they're concerned about a parent who seems withdrawn, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. With your parent's consent, I'm happy to answer questions about the therapy process and help determine whether my practice is a good fit.

Your parent may benefit from therapy if they are experiencing:
Depression or persistent sadness
Anxiety or excessive worry
Grief after the loss of a spouse, family member, or friend
Loneliness or social isolation
Difficulty adjusting to retirement
Stress related to chronic illness or health changes
Changes in cognition
Caregiver burnout
Loss of independence
Difficulty coping with the aging process
Therapy provides a supportive place to process these experiences and develop healthier ways of coping.
-
Absolutely not. Research shows that older adults often respond as well as, or even better than, younger adults in psychotherapy. Many people begin therapy for the first time in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s after experiencing retirement, health changes, caregiving responsibilities, grief, or loneliness. It's never too late to improve your emotional well-being.
-
Yes. In fact, many people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early-stage dementia can benefit greatly from therapy.
A diagnosis often brings fear, uncertainty, grief, and changes in confidence, not only for the person receiving the diagnosis but for their family as well. Therapy provides a safe place to talk through these emotions, adjust to life's changes, strengthen coping skills, and focus on what remains meaningful and fulfilling.
As a Certified Dementia Practitioner, I tailor each session to your loved one's abilities and needs. Rather than focusing on what has been lost, we build on existing strengths using supportive, engaging approaches that encourage conversation, reduce anxiety, foster connection, and help preserve a sense of identity and purpose.
Every person experiences cognitive changes differently. Therapy is adapted to meet them where they are, helping them feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their journey.
