Telehealth Counseling · Arizona · Minnesota · WASHINgton
Counseling for older adults and the families who care for them.
I provide compassionate telehealth support for those facing Alzheimer's disease and dementia, Parkinson's disease, Frontotemporal dementia, Lewy Body dementia, Stroke or other neurological disorders — and for the caregivers who carry the emotional weight of these illnesses.
Support that meets you where you are.
Whether you’re living with change yourself or carrying the concern for someone you love, our first conversation starts with what matters to you.
For older adults
For caregivers
For families
Care that is both personal and deeply informed.
I’m a Board Certified Clinical Geriatric Psychotherapist devoted entirely to older adults, their caregivers, and their families. I spent 18 months as a caregiver, and that experience continues to shape the way I understand the emotional weight, uncertainty, and day-to-day reality families often carry.
I chose to dedicate my practice to older adults because I believe every stage of life deserves compassion, dignity, and meaningful support. Older adulthood brings unique challenges—changes in health, memory, relationships, independence, and identity—but it also reflects a lifetime of resilience, wisdom, and lived experience.
This is the only kind of work I do. My practice is devoted entirely to older adults, their caregivers, and their families — so the concerns you bring are ones I sit with every day.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I understand this personally and professionally.
Throughout my career, I have remained committed to my own psychotherapy because I believe therapists have a responsibility to continue their own personal work. It has taught me, firsthand, what it means to be vulnerable, to trust another person with life's most difficult moments, and to discover that healing often begins not with having the answers, but with feeling truly understood.
Over the years, I have faced my own losses, life transitions, relationships, and periods of uncertainty. Those experiences have deepened not only my understanding of myself, but also my capacity to be fully present with another person's pain. They have taught me that meaningful change cannot be rushed, that every person's story deserves to be heard with compassion, and that healing unfolds when we have the safety and space to make sense of what we have lived through. My own journey continues to remind me that growth is rarely about becoming someone different—it is about discovering the strength, wisdom, and resilience that have been there all along.
Every person's story is unique, and I can never claim to know exactly what it is like to live your life.
What I can promise is this: I will never ask you to go somewhere emotionally that I have not been willing to go myself.
I have experienced the vulnerability, uncertainty, and courage that meaningful psychotherapy asks of every client. My role is not to tell you how you should feel or who you should become. It is to walk beside you with empathy, curiosity, and respect as you make sense of your experiences and discover your own path forward. I have learned that healing does not come from having all the answers. It comes from being deeply understood and genuinely accepted.
Who I Help
You don't have to navigate this journey alone.
When life changes because of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, or another disorder, it can feel as though you've been handed a map with no directions. Questions arise quickly, and the emotional weight can be overwhelming.
Whether you're adjusting to a new diagnosis, caring for a loved one whose needs are changing, or trying to make difficult decisions about the future, I am here to provide guidance, support, and trusted resources every step of the way. Together, We'll navigate setting realistic expectations for yourself and prioritizing self-care; questions about caregiving, memory care, family dynamics and what your future may look like, and the emotional challenges that often accompany these decisions.
My role is more than providing counseling. I serve as a compassionate partner, helping you understand your options, connect with valuable resources, and feel more confident as you move forward. You don't have to carry the uncertainty alone.

Support will start with our first conversation
Your complimentary consultation is a relaxed conversation focused on understanding what you're facing, answering your questions, and exploring whether working together feels like the right next step for you.
From the comfort of your home.
Telehealth allows counseling and guidance to happen from the privacy and comfort of home, without adding another appointment, commute, or waiting room to an already full season of life.
Sessions are simple to join, and if technology isn't your strong suit, don't worry—I'll walk you through getting set up.
When the time feels right for you
Reaching out for support is rarely easy. It often means facing uncertainty, vulnerability, or the weight of carrying too much for too long. Whether you are navigating a difficult season, caring for someone you love, or simply searching for a place to make sense of what you're experiencing, you don't have to do it alone.
When you feel ready, my door is open. I offer a warm, thoughtful space where you can be heard without judgment, explore what matters most, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
