I enjoy working with anyone who is curious about their own living experience, examining what does and doesn't work for them, and making conscientious decisions about how they want to live the rest of their life. Why do you think online therapy is effective for seniors? Online therapy is effective because it allows participants to have easy access to develop new, healthy perspectives and apply them in their own space.

Can you share some details about your experience? I've worked with seniors who were new to the retirement experience, seniors struggling with relationship and family challenges, seniors with alcohol difficulties, seniors with memory and cognitive decline, and also seniors at inpatient settings suffering from acute mental health challenges and dementia. Can you provide details on your approach to therapy?

I approach therapy as a creative endeavor. We examine aspects of a patient's life experience together, challenge perspectives that no longer serve, and develop new skills toward balanced moods and greater functioning.
