This includes changes in job status and finances, changes in physical and mental conditions, grief/loss, and social isolation. The goals of the therapeutic intervention is to work wholistically with all discplines involved in the individual's life, educate on aging issues and identify how to positively cope with stressful life situations.

Professionally, I have been working in the mental health field since 2010. This experience has ranged across the span of mental health crisis work in community mental health, work with older adults in long term care, and currently in inpatient psychiatric work as the Manager of Psychiatric Programming. Collectively, these experiences have given me a deep understanding of the impact of mental health across all systems and remind me of the great resiliency of individuals.

I recognize the role that aging can have on mental health. The changes that come not only with the body, but also with the social circles and the emotional wellbeing, can weigh you down and lead to increased difficulties. If you find yourself struggling with these, I do offer a space to process those emotions and also offer tools to navigate "growing wiser" with as much ease and dignity as possible.

I have experience supporting elders in feeling seen, heard and respected as they encounter life changes related to aging. Through compassionate and collaborative dialogue, we can explore your concerns and challenges related to aging, honor your experiences as an elder and, if of interest to you, practice coping skills to bring stress relief, humor, and greater opportunities for connection with others.

My graduate degree is specialized in Aging. I have experience working on a Geriatric rehab team and Alzheimer's and Dementia clinic. I have years of experience working with clients and families to place older adults in long term care, assisted living and senior housing. I understand the strong emotions for the client and family members during this transition. Feelings of stress, family disagreements, loneliness, depression are all common during this stage of life.

Part of my work includes being a Care Manager at a Wellness Center in Los Angeles that is comprised primarily of folks in their late 50's, 60's & 70's, where I provide both individual and group counseling.

Getting older does not have to mean losing your sense of self or direction in life. You may be unsure of what lies ahead or are finding that you no longer enjoy the things you once did and are feeling lonely, depressed, or frustrated as a result. Whatever challenges you may be up against, I believe that this can be one of the richest stages of life: one where you can find meaning in each day and be present with the people and the things you love.
